NC Blue Cross – 66.7% market share in small business market

Post on July 1, 2009 by 3 Comments »

NC Blue has 96.8% market share in the individual market.

NC Blue has 72.5% overall market share.

NC Blue is similarly dominant in the small business (groups with less than 50 employees) market in NC where they insure 26,800 groups and have 66.7% of the market. Their closest competitor, United HealthCare, insures 6,500 groups. So, small business in NC basically have a “choice.” Either they “choose” Blue Cross – which the vast majority seem to be required to do. Or a few might be able to “choose” one other company.

Tell me again why an affordable public health insurance plan option would be a bad idea for small businesses.

    I only started to listen to bits and pieces of The Vanity Project while writing this post and it’s not that bad. Hit and Run is played in an open tuning format that has a nice, full feel and sound to it. The one called These Wasted Words reminds me a Toronto band called Needy Fingers.

    Celebrate Medicare’s 44th Birthday by showing Congress and President Obama the people, unions, doctors, nurses, seniors, faith groups, and Americans of every stripe support a single-payer system.

    As President Obama says, “We must build on what works and leave out what doesn’t.” Medicare has
    successfully provided care to seniors and people with disabilities for almost half a century.

    The best way to save this system is to expand it and make it a truly single-payer system by removing the for-profit interests and guaranteeing healthcare as a right for all.

    Hi,
    Seems like it’s a nice blog. So let us also add something useful in it. Trading in volatile market can be very fruitful also if we follow technical levels closely. It’s a common saying that stock market can change fortune in either way. But now the question is how to earn money from the Indian stock market.

    Traders are advised to strictly follow technical analyses and investors can follow fundamental analysis. Many analysts say it’s not wise to follow technical and fundamental analysis together. But we say what the problem is if one does so? As more knowledge will add up things will not have any negative impact.
