[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish I found this reassuring, but I don't. There is simply zero chance that a health insurance giant in this day and age would give the same or better coverage for a lot less money. The difference will be extracted somewhere. I'm still very upset. And I would love to know what the general reaction has been. No one I have talked to is happy about this. Picking a time where everyone has been under incredible strain and they can't retain staff is just such a tone deaf time to make a huge change like this.[/quote]
Would you rather pay significantly more next year in insurance rates? Plans are marketed in order to chase the best rates. CareFirst was undoubtedly heading down the path of huge price hike. It is a monumental change for an organization to change benefit plans, especially given the size of MCPS.

Also, it’s perfectly normal for the rates and benefit coverage to remain flat when going to a nee carrier. That’s the advantage to marketing plans, you want someone to come in offering you the world. Eventually, Cigna and Kaiser will come back with price increases too.[/quote]

Yes, I would rather pay more. And I would rather have been asked. Costs are up across the board for everyone. For MCEA to think we're somehow the magical privileged ones that get to have just as great coverage for cheaper is unbelievably dumb. Either it's going to be not cheaper, or not great coverage.
