It isnt a secret that the reason the insurance corporations have been lobbying for selling across state lines is so they can relocate their offices to whatever states have the least regulations and so they can lower the costs (thus, quality) of coverage across all the states.
This is openly discussed in the actual post that started this tangent:
" Figures from the Government Accountability Office suggest that—in the absence of Obamacare’s myriad mandates—such credits, combined with the reform of letting people buy insurance across state lines, would make a low-premium (“catastrophic”) policy affordable for everyone."
That "low-premium" catastrophic affordable policy is going to cover very little so they can still have a high profit margin despite being relatively cheap. This is literally "we will make sure everyone has coverage by redefining coverage to only include resetting broken bones, but we wont cover pain killers so make sure your car crash injuries arent too severe.
