Ah, so we are on polar opposite ends of the spectrum here.
I'm uncertain broadening the competitive field would substantially benefit consumers overall--because we'd still have insurance companies agreeing as a group that pre-existing conditions are excluded.
And deregulating licensing schemes to get more doctors in play... Your mileage may vary here. Doctors haven't seemed too fond of lowering healthcare costs by making more of themselves. It's a lesson they've learned very well over the years--that scarcity increases revenue.
