[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So as consumers, do we call CareFirst and press them on this? I’m lucky I can go through DH’s insurance which isn’t CareFirst if they don’t reach and agreement… what are our best options here?[/quote]

I am planning on contacting them about it. I can also switch to my husband's health insurance, but I'd rather not. I may as well tell them that I would. Also federal employees, which probably make up a big chunk of their local customers, have a lot of insurance options and can drop them for someone else. Not sure they give a shit but whatever...I'll try. [/quote]

The weird thing about this is that I would think the set of people that would actually drop BCBS insurance over Hopkins would be money-losers (as a group) for BCBS. It seems like they’d have a financial incentive to encourage those people to switch to different insurance companies.[/quote]

What makes you say so?[/quote]

Because most people don’t go to the doctor so often that they care who they go to.[/quote]

Said another way- the only people who care are those are sick- remove those from the pool and bam, rates are lower for the rest.[/quote]
