Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield decides to launch three ads that tell people to avoid the Healthcare.gov Web site, because its own site works so much better.
A couple of days ago, I received two letters from my health insurance company.
One welcomed me to its autopay system -- which was a touch odd, given that I had been in its autopay system for many years.
The second told me that I was about to have my health insurance cut off, as I hadn't paid my monthly bill.
Please forgive me, then, if I'm not bathed in admiration for the way health insurance companies do business. There is one, however, that wants me (and you) to believe it's the apogee of efficiency.

Ruh-roh. I can already see hordes of bureacrats giving this company a proctology exam and more!

I don’t know about SD, but here in IA Wellmark BC/BS is NOT participating in Obamacare exchanges this year. It claims it intends to participate for the 2015 year market. Also its managed to extend its individual and small group plans through 2014 under the pre-Obamacare rules. I don’t know how it managed to do that, but as a result of that and of them having about 80% of those markets in Iowa relatively few cancelation notices are going out in Iowa this fall. It doesn’t sound like they can hold off Obamacare beyond 2014 though absent true fixes or further Obama hocus pocus.
