    As it is, anyone with UHC (like my family) will end up paying a higher premium.

    Rates for 2025 are set already.

    You can’t switch next cycle like the rest of people prolly gonna do?

      Which “rest of people” get a choice of insurance providers from their employer?

      Or do you mean pay a hell of a lot more for a plan the employer isn’t offering?

        fair point, well tell your employer to switch, also tell your coworkers.

        you are deff on point that they will extract to punish for this. but staying with them is a bad business decision unless your employer is getting kick backs.

          Big companies will switch if the rates justify it, it’s a yearly bidding war, and quite annoying when you have to change insurance cards and even a different provider because of things beyond your control. Healthcare should be nationalized and not tied to employment for so many reasons.

          well tell your employer to switch, also tell your coworkers.

          Has that ever worked for you? Have you only worked in small businesses or something?

          If things were that simple, the CEO wouldn’t have been assassinated in the first place.
