    As it is, anyone with UHC (like my family) will end up paying a higher premium.

    Rates for 2025 are set already.

    You can’t switch next cycle like the rest of people prolly gonna do?

      Which “rest of people” get a choice of insurance providers from their employer?

      Or do you mean pay a hell of a lot more for a plan the employer isn’t offering?

        fair point, well tell your employer to switch, also tell your coworkers.

        you are deff on point that they will extract to punish for this. but staying with them is a bad business decision unless your employer is getting kick backs.

          Big companies will switch if the rates justify it, it’s a yearly bidding war, and quite annoying when you have to change insurance cards and even a different provider because of things beyond your control. Healthcare should be nationalized and not tied to employment for so many reasons.

          well tell your employer to switch, also tell your coworkers.

          Has that ever worked for you? Have you only worked in small businesses or something?

          If things were that simple, the CEO wouldn’t have been assassinated in the first place.

            Sounds like your workplace should unionize.

            Not saying it would be easy nor quick but it would be a lot more effective than berating people on the internet who agree with you.

              I did not berate the person you are defending, a person who has apparently been trolling people all over Lemmy and even got banned from c/news a month ago for it. And had their last post in this thread deleted for trolling.

              They have quite the interesting modlog history as well.

              Yeah, okay. The CEO will be very happy to see some random low-level peon about which insurance company ConHugeCo uses.

              I’m thinking you’re not actually in the U.S. at this point if you think that’s how anything works.

                I am sorry UHC customers will have to suffer as result of other customers ditching UHC.

                  Yep. You are definitely not in the U.S. You think this is up to consumers on an individual level.

                  So what country without capitalist healthcare do you live in?
