My BCBS went up also and has every year. I have no problem with that. They pay bills on time and so far have covered every medical issue I've had. I recently had over $200K in medical bills. I paid the $5K deductible and approx. another $1K. That's a lot better than selling everything I own
I've read horror stories about some of the cheap unknowns who don't respond to claims quickly and the patient ends up getting reamed by collections and it damages their credit. I may pay a little more for BCBS but their actions have showed me it's worth it. I've had my personal policy with them for about 11 years now.
