We must hurry to stop the double digit premium increases... so we can have double digit tax increases.
Would seem like if Anthem is the only choice for Californians, some competition from other providers (including those from out of State) may help?!
I never understodd how out-of-state insurance helps anything. They have no relationships with local doctors and hospitals. How will they get better rates than the local plans?
This seems to bow to the lie that the insurer is the problem and the one needing competion. Its actually the PROVIDERS who are grouping together in monopolistic packs and charging ridiculous prices. Out of state insurers won’t solve that unless you are willing to travel for care.
Why should a radiologyst make 5 times what a Primary Care doc makes? is there really that much more knowledge and education required? Pleeeease. Its lack of local competition.
