[elcheapo]

The Russians don't worry me
China doesn't worry me
North Korea does not cause me to loose sleep

BUT TRUMP...WHO NEEDS TO WORRY ABOUT
ENEMIES !!

today payments cut off to Insurance company's

(What he said he wasn't going to do)
Bcbs is livid
So are other companies
They said the markets have just been destabilize.
There will be fewer policy's offered and premium
Higher....for individual and small business !!

I can't afford higher health costs
Higher parts and input costs
Not the best weather
And some commodities at multi year lows due
To trade issues
And that matter is going to get even worse

BA asked the question a few years ago...
""Are you better off than 4 years ago ?""

Blue Cross asking for 51% premium increase

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Citing higher-than-expected costs, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico wants to raise premiums by an average of 51.6 percent on individual Affordable Care Act plans in 2016.

The company made the request in a preliminary rate proposal filed with New Mexico Insurance Superintendent John Franchini. Blue Cross and Blue Shield — which insures an estimated 600,000 people statewide — said the proposal affects an estimated 35,000 customers who signed up for qualified individual health plans through the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange, but also those who bought the same plans off the exchange.

Franchini has the final authority to approve or not approve Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s request.

Guess we could go towards venezuelan care. If you can't get water or toilet paper do you really think you would be able to get insulin.

Even if you can get it

And HE promised preexisting would be covered,

Well he went the other way a couple weeks

just part of the Better and Much, Much Cheaper thingy.

BTW, if they also destabilize the large group market the ripples across the whole economy are going to be large waves.

HC has become so toxic that nobody can fix it at the national level*. I predict we're going to see several states seriously looking at single payer systems over the next few years.CA and NY are big enough that they can change the game on their own.

And states that won't for ideological reasons- primarily those that haven't expanded medicaid- are just going to continue on the trend of general deterioration- like KS.

* really has always been and particularly since the Clinton debacle. Thus the tragic folly of Obama trying to and particularly thinking that they'd get bipartisan support with a GOP/Heritage type approach.

Although I'd also say that a public option, at minimum, is fairly likely in 2021.

You people bitch about Trump wasting money but when there is clear fraud to the government you want him to continue your waste because it benefits you. The country is on the right track to fix this corruption. Suck it up!

[elcheapo]

Allen....did you know that your health insurance
Also covers mental health.,...go get your money's
Worth out of your policy !!

The problem isn't insurance, it is pricing of services in the healthcare industry. There is no transparency and no competition. There is no competition because there is no pricing up front. Also there is a lot of fraud with medical providers. Procedures not needed, etc...
