I’m afraid to look. I know for a short time one of the big local hospitals refused to take the BlueCross I have, so I know there’s some pressure in the bad direction.
As Obamacare takes full effect, the cost to insurance companies, particularly to assume the risk of insuring those with pre-existing conditions, will have to be passed on to the insureds in one firm or another. Premiums will rise, benefits will decrease and/or there will be higher deductibles and co-pays.
Whatever happens, it won’t be pretty.
