In reply to the discussion: Anthem Blue Cross seeks to raise individual policyholders' rates (18% average) [View all]AngryOldDem
(14,060 posts)31. I had Aetna as self-insurance.
But they pulled out of Indiana because of "business conditions," probably because they wanted to raise their rates through the sky and state law probably wouldn't let them.
Now I have Anthem, so I have to wonder how long it's going to be before I see a rate hike here.
This is such bullshit. At times I feel like the whole damn industry is a scam, but you have to have it.

This is why we got insurance thru the nonprofit AARP. It ain't cheap but it's better than this!
