NM to see among highest rate increases for health insurance after BCBS pulls out
Isn't this just great. One of the poorest states right now and one of the biggest rate increases. Bernie, we need you and we need universal health care!
It found New Mexicans can expect an average price hike of nearly 26 percent – the fourth-highest increase in the country.
In a survey of 30 US metro areas, Albuquerque and Santa Fe are seeing the third-highest increase – at 25 percent.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico shook up the local market two months ago, when it announced it was leaving the exchange after it failed to get a 51 percent rate hike from the state. The company's move affects 35,000 individual plans in the state.

BCBS has been trying to significantly raise their rates forever. I wouldn't go with that company for anything. Our teamster plan does not even offer it. But now they are going to make things really bad for a lot of people. I would not blame this on Obama Care but on BCBS GREED!

Re: NM to see among highest rate increases for health insurance after BCBS pulls out
Remember the big outcry by the big medical corporations how they would lose their asses? I was at the front stating they wouldn't lose anything. How did that pan out?

I am not giving up on the idea of affordable health care. I have given up on turning greed into compassion.
