BCBS rates will have doubled (on average) in NC since 2015

2018 + 23%
2017 +24.3%
2016 +32%

And how were bonuses and executive compensation looking at BCBS NC? How about the reserves?

The only solution is single payer. The private system doesn't work because they're just looting the system.

How long do you reserves would last with annual losses in the 8 digit range

Really long if BCBS didn't create different pools to capture all the people who make claims into one pool and then claim they're losing money

Basically its 2 year process

Year 1 - Create only 1 plan that actually covers hospitals that sick people need. Make the plan really expensive. Only those who really need to use the plan will use it

Year 2 - Hey, our plan is losing money!

The reserves will keep people insured longer if the people who paid them actually get to use them.

Maybe Pelosi and the gang should have read the plan BEFORE they passed it. Those that did said this is where it would end up. Higher prices. Cant keep your doctor. Unafordable to most. Pelosi's killling folks with a smile and a hug.
