This is somewhat arcane ‘insider baseball’ type info.

Let me make it simple. He who sets the rules and the limits of coverage can control who is qualified to bid on the private insurance version that can be sold.

I had a similar situration once. The city council hired a prominent insurance salesman as a consultant to set up the qualifications, limits of coverage and type of coverage to be offered to the city employees.

Using the parameters he set up, only one insurance company in the nation out of some 1500 qualified for the city insurance contract. Surprise, his parent insurance agency was the exclusive agent for that company in the State of Texas.

Can a thing be not shocking and shocking at the same time?

I knew this thing was going to be very, very bad (so not shocking) but the details about the badness are very shocking.

Great reporting ... we need tons more reporting like this.

Want to sell insurance on the Obamacare exchanges? There’s a (3.5%) fee for that.

So, in two separate instances, the Obama administration advised breaking the law to aid in Obama’s re-election: 1. contractors not to issue WARN notices as per the law 2. United group not to inform SEC of purchase within 4 days.

Surely “someone” on Capital Hill should be doing something about this? Right? /sarc

Well, this sure explains why I have seen many, MANY job openings posted over the last month for employment at United Healthgroup in Minnesota.

Mystery solved.

When things finally get back in “whack” in this country, that scrawny crone’s name will be high on the list of people who no longer serve any purpose in our society and can be dispensed with.
