>> Said when you start looking at doctors and plans, some doctors will take the silver plan but won't take the bronze plan even if you can pay the higher deductible. And that some doctors refuse to take any Obamacare plans, they only take private insurance or company benefit insurance plans.

I think most docs that take BCBS take ALL of the BCBS, and those are the best plans in the Exchanges. But this year, a couple other companies have jumped on board. Not all docs are taking those, even those the plans are generally more expensive.

The BCBS plans are a pretty good deal for older people right now, imo. But I'm just going to tell you, those prices are going up. They're getting all the kickbacks now, and you know damned well just about all of them are subsidized in Arkansas. So, they can substantially increase prices and the taxpayers will be picking up most of the tab. Right now, it is about BCBS driving the competition out, and if you look at the AR exchange plans, it is really difficult to see a reason not to go with BCBS and I'd wager that is what just about everyone who buys on the exchanges will do.

3-4 years from now those people are going to get creamed.
