So you prefer an even larger conglomerate of BCBS? The company trying to acquire BCBSLA is Elevance (formerly known as Anthem) and they already have 14 BCBS states under their umbrella. STFU if you don’t know the subject matter you’re commenting on.

Typical Louisiana politician, was going to hold the deal up unless he got to dip his hand in the cookie jar.

Yeah , we are all aware of the proposed fund that holds the profit of the sale if it goes through.
My question to you still stands: Which Landry buddy was recently named to the board of the accelerate fund? Do we have a name?

Not exactly. That’s one of the things BCBS and its interested parties are doing different this time. This Board required one seat to be appointed by the governor. They’re trying to compromise and do things on paper that make it look better

Once the sale is completed, Blue Cross premiums will immediately go up 50%.
It's called greed. Why? Because they can.

Would be nice to get an unexpected 3k check if you have insurance through Blue Cross, but since most policies are group policies the 3k checks will go to employers not the employees of group insurance. If you have an individual policy, Blue Cross will be mailing you a check if approved.

Headline reader, eh? Read any article written about the sale, not the headline, and you will see it is a bad deal for all of us who have BCBS.
If you think BCBSLA is bad, Elevance is worse. Much worse. They are the Humana Medicare Advantage Plan of Commercial insurers.
Read the last paragraph again and do any research necessary to understand what is written above.

Jeremy Stine wrote a pretty damning article in the Advocate. Hopefully the policy holders see it and vote against. 2/3 of policyholders have to approve the sale. If you buy a plan from them(not your work but you) then you get a vote. You would think this would kill it but don’t underestimate basic greed. The catch is they’re paying $3k if the sale goes through to policyholders.

Landry was promised a board seat. He’s not against it any longer.

Oh jeez. I used to work for Elevance. They aren't terrible. Their HIT is cutting edge. We never had a problem with them as our insurer.

And hence they are not giving the 3k to everyone. If you buy it through your work, your employer is the policy holder and not you.
That why I am against it.

No. Everyone needs to do their research on this as there is a vote by shareholders. (you if you have BCBS) as its owned by the shareholders....The only people that will profit from sale are the people buying and the board members who stay on . Its being sold at a fraction of the value....Not a good deal for the people of the state...
