Comments on: NC Blue Cross – 72.5% Overall Market Share http://pulse.ncpolicywatch.org/2009/06/30/nc-blue-cross-725-overall-market-share/ The Progressive Pulse is a blog about the issues, debates, and people that affect North Carolina public policy. As with the organization that sponsors it, NC Policy Watch, its ultimate objective is to improve the quality of life in the state, in this case by promoting the development of an informed, energetic and progressive online community. The Progressive Pulse welcomes the contributions of interested people of all points of view provided they are of a reasonable length, have some relevance to issues of North Carolina public policy and abide by the common rules of online etiquette (i.e., please avoid inappropriate language and show a measure of respect for others --even the John Locke Foundation). To post a comment, simply click the comment line then provide your name and email. Your email address will not be collected or shared. If you would like to be contributing writer, please send your post to info@ncpolicywatch.com with 'blog' in the subject line. If the post meets with our criteria (has a progressive perspective and is relative to our state), we will publish it.

Medical care and insurance is costly all over the state, so if someone else could beat them at their game (they have be in it for 75 years) they probably would have by now. You don't stay in business that long by cheating customers.

The deficiences created by BC.BS of NC that helped to create the deficit in the State Employee Plan is a clear indicator this non-profit can tell you whatever they want with no crediable backup. To underestimate the discounts in its own network of providers is beyound the pale.
