Texas ACA rates to rise from 15% to 19% for 2016 individual market

Ah...you ARE a young fella, aren't you?

1. You said....BCBS withdrew because other plans were cheaper.

2. The only reason other plans being cheaper would have any impact on BCBS withdrawing is if other people bought the other plans more.

3. Fact: BCBS had the cheapest PPOs (and the cheapest HMOs).

4. Fact: BCBS was the biggest provider in the ACA in the state.

5. Fact: BCBS lost millions of dollars on the PPOs, which was why it withdrew them all. It lost millions because the amount of claims paid far exceeded the amount of premiums rec'd. And the premiums were not cheap. (As I've said...mine was the cheapest PPO yu could get; it was $655/mo., bronze. It would be less if you're younger, of course.)

Also, it looks like there won't be any PPOs in my area for 2016 (maybe I saw one from a co. I wouldn't use....it's really a hospital that self-insures...but I'm not sure if that was a PPO.) The people are sicker than they thought.

Don't blame me. I used it only twice...for two preventive exams. That's it.

Everything you said except #1 is as fictional as all the other proven BS you've posted in this thread
