I can&#039;t stand Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida and think they are the definition of why this country is, or rather will be suffering through one of the worst periods of economic history ever.
However Anthem is a much more respectable company as I have had dealing with them in other states.
However the gist of this blog post is that the current health reform bill that is heading for the Senate is going to raise premiums for everyone and in some places dramatically.
But I feel like the people that have it the worst in our country&#039;s health care system are the 55-65 Baby Boomers.  Probably about 1/3 of them couldn&#039;t even qualify for individual health insurance and another 1/4 would pay really high rates.  Another 25% simply cannot afford health insurance anyways as they pay the most.
In New York, though an 18 year old pays the same as a 62 year old so in that state (and in other states that have mandated coverage) the system appears to be uniformly unfair though it is nicer for the Boomers.
My point?  We are screwed!  Health care costs are not being addressed at all and it seems as if the bill that is being passed is being passed for  the sake of passing a bill.  Or for political capital.
If you count Medicaid and Medicare we are going to have 3 Federal Health Programs that do the same thing albeit for different demographics!
To say this is wasteful is akin to pointing out that glass houses are dangerous during hurricanes.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ed,<br
