Healthcare

Best Healthcare System Ever

There's simply no excuse for this:

Another big California health insurer has stunned individual policyholders with huge rate increases — this time it's Blue Shield of California seeking cumulative hikes of as much as 59% for tens of thousands of customers March 1.

Blue Shield's action comes less than a year after Anthem Blue Cross tried and failed to raise rates as much as 39% for about 700,000 California customers.

I'm amazed that there hasn't been a massive citizen uprising against these bastards. Seriously. And yet tea party people are scouring the president's staff for commies.

The good news is that this will probably be blocked by California or the healthcare law.
