a. blue cross in the us as the last we'll get you know we're promoting each other. a lot of russ just gracious you know it's our conflicts between immigrants and swedish receipts this is one example like what kind of crisis i mean if i was you know it was a few weeks out. and i'm like go stargazing you know i just i just took the bus there for me. and you know it's just how you see me i was telling you off on this while you are you sitting right here the octu but we've got me a cross of some really serious injury and we need help we are not going to do our jobs to get anything from them we just come here because of some problem that you do need to. so it's. it's not the way to say you come here because their own safety and you want to work. out some people still live in somalia. so consciously. or divest my george ninety nine percent of the people in this city just want to live normal quiet lives. and there's just a little a little few of them that are doing the rapes that are doing the shootings and we are tired of it it seems that you work hard it's a particular sc

someone had a blue cross, ppo, decided where do i go? blue cross hmo or do i switch over to health net, now owned by that received a lot of enrollment. that caused further turmoil and that wase competition excessive looking back because they were suffering huge losses, so by 2016, the insurers -- two things happen. most insurers left except blue and the health net product and there were gigantic rate increases. increases and suddenly on the arizona went from almost having a bear county, the first was in 2016, county between two -- tucson and phoenix, it looked like they might not have a carrier and the largest increases, so it was the first poster case of the market going down the tubes. they got all the counties covered, but now the prices were exceptionally high. what interests me is it settled into the following pattern. the two carriers, blue cross and , had basically split up the state and blue cross left the urban areas that had these narrow network-based problems and only concentrated on the rural areas where the ppo structure was

a huge swing in enrollment. so, you know, most people were with the blue cross plan. when you had a low balling insurer, it seems pejorative in terms of a purposeful business strategy. but for whatever reason ends up being much lower than the rest of the market. and they have a couple different products out there. if that sets the target premium for the subsidies, then that makes all the other coverage a lot more expensive which leads to the big enrollment swing. so by year three, they had to actually leave the market. they were declared -- they were putting receivership and such. so meanwhile, the other thing that happened is that the market started out with a traditional ppo plans that blue cross and aetna and united and others had developed for the group market. but some other insurers established themselves in the market based on fair row networks around of provider systems. so in arizona, you have good level of competition among several different hospital-based health care systems in phoenix and to a lesser xpenlt in tucson. but products that formed around those c

someone had a blue cross or whatever ppo had to decide where to go, do i go to blue cross hmo or to switch over to healthnet, which is now owned by 17. that received a lot of enrollment. that caused further turmoil and also price competition that was excessive, looking back because they were suffering huge losses. so by 2016, the insurers put in -- two things happen, most of the insurers left except blue cross. in the healthnet product. and there were gigantic rate increases of as larges -- 50- 75%. and suddenly arizona went from almost having bexar county, for the first issue was 2016, -- pinellas county between tucson and phoenix, it looked like it might not have a carrier in the largest increases. so it was the first sorta posterior case of the market going down the tubes. they get all the counties covered but now the prices were exceptionally high. and what interest me is the settled into the following pattern. the two carrots, blue cross and healthnet, had basically split the state. and blue cross lefty urban areas that had these narrow network- based products and only concentrate on

someone had a blue cross or whatever -- had to decide do i look. they say do i go hmo or switch over, it was health net now owned by centene that received a lot of enrollment. so that caused further turmoil and also price competition that was excessive looking back because they were suffering huge losses and so by 2016 the insurers put in -- two things happened. most of the insurers left except for blue cross and centene, now centene owned health net product and there were gigantic rate increases, the largest in the country, 50 to 75% increases. so suddenly arizona went from almost having a bexar county, so the first issue of bear counties was this 2016 for pinnel county, the county between tucson an phoenix for a while looked like they might not have a carrier and then the largest increases. it was the first poster case of a market going down the tubes. they got all the counties covered, but now the prices were exceptionally high and -- and what interests me is it settled into the following pattern, that the two carriers, blue cross and we will cal

it was just hmo plans which then caused further movement of enrollees your system and had a blue cross or whatever tpl had to decide what i go? do i go to the blue cross hmo or do i switch over to healthnet, now owned by -- the received a lot of enrollment. so that cause further turmoil and also price competition that was excessive, looking back because they were suffering huge losses, and so by 2016 the interest put in two things happened. most of the insurance left except for blue cross and centene our product and they were gigantic rate increases. largest in the country. >> translator: -75% increases. and so suddenly arizona went from almost having a very kind, the first issue of bear counties was in 2016, four panola county company between tucson and phoenix. for a while it looked like it might not have a carrier and the largest increases, and so it was kind of the first sort of poster case of the market going down the tubes. they got all the counties covered but now the prices were exceptionally high. and, but what interested to still in the following pattern, the two carriers, bl

a limited number of blue cross plans we still have to get a contract with. now, as you all know from your experience at chinese hospital, negotiating with insurance companies is not straight forward. it is our hope they will agree to accept the same rates that they currently pay to the hospital for these services. honestly we would not be truthful with you if we said we could answer for them. but that's our intention is to say this is our plan, do you agree. in terms of medicare and medi-cal and vast majority of patient insured services, it's not an issue. >> i understand. obviously you can't be held hostage to unscrupulous differing programs or plans. i think if we were able somehow to get a clearer definition of what the management transfer would be and while you can say there is no real impact, we are going to maintain all of these. if that could somehow be translated into some type of, for example, whereas in our documents, that then allows us at least what we could have understood to be the intent that you have. i think that helps us move forward in ter

a very positive development. hipp, along with the blue cross blue shield, addressed this uncertainty. we can get into that a little more as well if you have questions. we appreciate your time and thank you for hanging with me this afternoon, and we welcome your questions. >> thank you, jeanette, and take you to the other panelists. i will open this up to questions now. there are two microphones on the floor, and there are also green forms you can fill out and bring up, and people will pick them up. started, i do want to ask one question to the panelists. it is a two-part question and that brianis issue o raised, and highlighted, and that jeanette also underscored. insurance plans for people above y -- subsidy threshold. they are most likely to be attracted to these non-aca compliant health plans, like short-term policies and association health land. also a lot of plans in the market that do not comply with the affordable care act -- limited benefits plan policies, policies that are sold by health sharing ministries, and my question is -- and jeanette has a really nice list of things th
