Those high-priced Maine insurance policies are largely the result of something very close to a monopoly, and granted, that's partly the fault of the state. But health care reform has provisions to smash those pseudo-monopolies. It's an aspect of reform that has a great deal of support in Maine, the idea that competition will lower costs.
