Guest guest Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 HI ALl, This is Off Topic. Does anyone know an insurance agent in the SF bay area who handles individual medical insurance policies? I have major medical insurance only, it was costing me $1,350 per month for a family of 4 in August. Then they informed me that premiums were going to $1,650 in October due to cost increases. Now I got a bill for $2,019 per month starting in January and their stated reason is the OBAMA healthcare bill, I have seen my premiums now increase 50% in less than 6 months. I can not afford these premiums and yet if I don't pay them and someone in my family is hospitalized they will take away my house to cover the bill. Blue Shield hardly reimburses any of my medical bills anyway because they aren't in the business of taking care of sick people's medical financial needs, they are in the business of denying and delaying reimbursements & maximizing their profits. None of our doctors contract with insurers because they find it as difficult to deal with them as the patients do... I need to find something different even if it kicks my sick adult kid off the plan, then I can take him to the ER like all the other uninsured people when he needs to see a doctor badly enough. Is anyone else experiencing these outrageous cost increases and are you finding any alternatives? Is any kind of organized revolt being waged by anyone against this? This is greedy profit maximization at it's most outrageous.... Thanks, Sue V. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
