Shopping for new health insurance SUCKS. Only provider in Alabama is Blue Cross. No choices and it is NOT cheap.
If I remember correctly, Alabama chose to have only one provider, therefore there is no competition. Somehow it related to not accepting Federal money for Medicaid expansion, but I don't know all the details. That left Blue Cross/Blue Shield as the only provider.
What's really funny is I can move across the line into Florida and get the same coverage for about $2500/yr cheaper.
Well...I hit the BIG 69 today thanks to the Blessings I have been given so far I am in pretty good health!
