They talked about giving $1,500 to each member, but in the packet I received it said that we would receive less than one third of that amount. My premiums are just under $1,000 a month now for an HMO plan. Had Anthem been allowed to purchase Blue Cross Blue Shield, I am sure the premiums, and the co-pays would have gone up, while the services would have been cut back. Thank you, Kathleen Sebelius; for your brave stand, you can count on my vote.
