We have had BlueCross for many years. Mainly because I'm not experienced or motivated enough to find another policy. That will change this year. We have gone from paying as little as $500 (years ago) with a $5000 deductible to now paying $1498 a month for a $7150 deductible. Yes you read it right. $1498 a month. That's enough to cover most mortgages. The premiums, co-pays and deductibles have routinely gone up while the coverage has gone down every year to where we are at now. BCBS took full advantage of the "Affordable Care Act" and the fact the we are now required by law to have coverage. Who can afford $1498 a month for premiums THEN pay $70 per visit? Somebody has to pay for the people on OHP so it looks like the working class have been chosen.
