Open Letter to Highmark and the PA Insurance Board

Dear Highmark and my not so good friends at the PA Insurance Board,

It is that time of year again. One of you has seen fit to ask for a raise for our premiums. A raise? When you employ countless worthless employees who work for Blues On Call. What service do they provide? If you have a question the answer is typically, call your doctor. I could ask my next door neighbor that and I would get the same answer. These Blues On Call people are nurses too. I say, eliminate that position and fill our hospitals and doctors' offices with these qualified people. Take them off the damn phones, where they are mostly useless and put them to work.

Oh and all those fliers that you send out.

1. Useless killing of trees.
2. Nobody reads them! So stop sending them and save some money too.

So to the PA insurance board, do you honestly think in these tough economic times, Highmark deserves to be allowed to increase the premiums on their plans when most of us struggle to pay them? If you do, you are a sad bunch of individuals.

Make these companies accountable. Let them cut useless spending before passing on higher costs to their customers.

Sincerely,

A pissed off highmark customer
