    Blue Cross premium hikes in Texas, Oklahoma could mean Illinois sticker shock

    But HCSC, like some insurers, has been stung by heavy losses in its ACA plans. Under the health law, insurers must provide a basic set of benefits and cannot turn away consumers, even if they are sick.

    It's not too surprising then that Obamacare enrollees, some of whom were denied coverage in the past because of their medical histories, are using the health care system a lot. Newer customers have higher rates of diabetes, depression and high blood pressure than pre-Obamacare individual members, according to the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, the national federation of Blue insurance companies.

    HCSC's medical costs have outpaced premium rate increases by a wider margin compared with other big health plans, according to Mark Farrah's analysis. Between 2013 and 2015, HCSC has seen a 107.4 percent jump in its average claim per member per month. But its premiums over that time went up 45 percent.

    HCSC and other insurers were counting on an Obamacare program to reimburse them for some of the business risk of selling ACA plans. But those federal payments fell far short of expectations.

    HCSC said it lost $1.5 billion last year on its individual business, up from $767 million in 2014. In Texas, where HCSC has nearly 603,000 members on ACA plans, the company lost $592 million last year and $416 million in 2014 on its individual business, Spencer said.

    We might as well throw in with the likes of the U.K. and Canada now. Just go full on commie care. Then "the rich" can buy supplemenary insurance at lower rates.

    Gotta love it. They bought and paid for Obama, got their forced insurance and realized oh shit, people who can't afford it still won't pay for it even if you try to force them :crackup:

    They won't if they want their buy out of Humana to make it. The wife works for them. They'll cave to the government if they threaten to stop the Humana purchase.

    My insurance might not be cheaper but I'm pretty damn glad I have it. 5 days in a hospital and the bill was 65,000.00. My co pay on that was 3,000.00. That doesn't include the ambulance. I'm still waiting on that bill to come in.

    $65000? What did they do, give you a complete superbike build and throw in a set of FGR 300 forks?
