I just signed up for a new PPO plan through BCBS.

Rates went up about 35%, but they still offer PPO plans.

Its going to be like the old west movies soon. Hold up a doctor at gunpoint and say "Your gona fixem up good or Im'agona fix you up good".

On a serious note, I foresee a large black-market healthcare market emerging. It may well thin the heard, stay health my friends.

I know a few docs that have already gone cash only and they say that even though they are charging less than 20% of what they used to have to charge insurance companies to break even they are actually turning a good profit now.

You signed up through your employer, those of us that don't have group eligibility can't get a PPO any more!

Wife lost her BXBS Medicare PPO, managed to switch her to a Humana PPO.
Daughter, self employed, lost her PPO and is having a difficult time finding an individual plan that comes anywhere near the coverage she had last year, at twice the cost.

Humana has doubled in price both years since signing up for it. And they say they're losing money.....

They just need to expand Medicare to all Americans and be done with it.
