PLUS, I have had both BCBS and United Healthcare. BCBS coverage was better, but cost a lot more. United Healthcare was very good, compared to Cigna, which I also had at one point, and now have again.

You also need to stick with the same type of insurance. It's possible that one company is bad at auto ins. but great at health ins.

However, I read your "justicedept" list of top ten. It's actually a list by TRIAL LAWYERS.

The ONLY complaint against United Health is the amount of premiums and/or the amount paid to care providers. This is no longer a problem, now that we have the ACA, which requires 80%-85% of premiums go to pay claims.
