A local county with ~1500 switched from BCBS to BCBS administering a self-insured policy... saved them money... I forget how much.

It saves you 30-50%. I can put you in touch with a third party administrator that will take over all the administrative tasks as well as beating down the health care providers on costs and providing a catastrophic stop loss policy.

I was talking to an insurance agent. He said that on the personal policies they didn’t see anything less than a 200% increase for this year. If anyone believed that this was supposed to lower costs or actually provide better health care they should probably be looking for some bridges they can buy. I hear there are some really good deals out there!

I'm not sure exactly how this ObamaCare thing was supposed to "save everyone money" and provider "better health care". We just received our group health insurance premium notice for the upcoming year, and our rates will go up by 10% starting 2015. On top of that, everyone is now paying a 3% ObamaCare tax on their personal income taxes. This doesn't really seem like much of a savings to me... :( Travis Total Control Panel Login To: ja...@litewire.net From: 00000148f06ca51a-0f699681-0d5d-4311-927d-b071efffb090-000...@amazonses.com Message Score: 2 High (60): Pass My Spam Blocking Level: High Medium (75): Pass Low (90): Pass Block this sender / Block this sender enterprise-wide Block amazonses.com / Block amazonses.com enterprise-wide This message was delivered because the content filter score did not exceed your filter level.
