CA Rugby Players: Blue Shield Holds rates...

So, Blue Shield, the company I mainly promote, will not increase rates for the remainder of the year?

Why?

IMHO, they're betting on Obamacare getting defunded, and a major backlash against the use of the RUC, which penalizes primary physicians and rewards specialists.

Stay tuned...

    Basically, specialists make more money, and hospitals clean up on Gov't funds, leaving primary care physicians screwed. (Plus, preventative medicine is also underpaid. Chiro and alternative medicine completely ignored.)
