Its that time of year again. Shockingly, my premiums are increasing by 10%. That damn GOP and their meddling with HealthCare!! Oh wait....
Awwww the joys of annual benefits enrollment

- Start date
The sad part of all this is that liberals really believe what they have been spoon fed about all the good that govt does. When the premiums go way up, its the insurance companies fault that they don't adhere to the govt's forecasts. Color me shocked
Of course they were, but you weren't being told that if we only make some more enroll, force more people to pay more with bigger out of pocket deductibles, rates would be going down. Govt just can't make correct decisions when it comes to running things. Every govt program has tremendous waste and fraud. No one is held responsible.If they were, things would be better but when was the last time a govt worker was ever fired for gross mismanagement or incompetence?
Just because I'm only a few years away don't think you're going to get me to change my tune.[roll]
But Obama promised a $2,500 reduction per family, right? He's an unusually good liar.
Sorry to disappoint you. This is my retirement job. Made enough money in my previous job. [thumbsup] I just can't bring myself to be pissed off at the world like you and the other conservatives on here.
It figures that state insurance didnt go up. Not sure what you thought I meant but your silly response says a lot about you.
Ok. It was your response not mine. My wife had state employee bcbs at her previous job. We switched to mine and it went up 10%.Ouch.....I'm so worried you don't like me I may not sleep tonight.....
Meanwhile you have some opinion of yourself and those who disagree with you.
State govt job. That explains it. Subsidized by tax payers without any regard to the bottom line.
Mine went down last year, and then up a little this year, so it's basically back to what it was 2 years ago.
My wife just joined a Part C provider as a full-time CSR here in Cincinnati in late September, and it's obviously now starting to ramp up for their fairly new (2nd year) local operation.....though I suspect it'll be far more so after the New Year when the newest enrollees start tasting their new coverage for the first time.
As you'd expect, some callers are reasonable and some are far less so.....of course, that's how it is for pretty much any CSR in pretty much any business discipline. But it's a somewhat difficult time for her currently because, as a brand new employee, virtually every question she gets is new. Happily she's more informed today than she was 2 weeks ago, and she'll be even more informed 2 weeks from today.
But some of the questions can pertain to fairly obscure issues, requiring her to check with someone else (who may be in an entirely different office); and some of her callers just don't like to be placed on hold (or even asked to be called back).....while a percentage of them were in a cranky mood (as they probably are 24/7) when they dialed the phone. So tell me, are you Part C customers here reasonable or less so with the CSR....I'll bet I can guess [laughing].....when you call your provider with questions ??
