    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.

        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.

          Health insurance costs the company money too, it’s why United was so popular, it’s cheaper for the company. If they raise their rates, the company has to foot part of that bill. Normally 50+% is covered by your employer. That’s why it is so much cheaper to get insurance through your company than going market. So if United raises rates by 25%, your employer is as pissed as you are. What your employer might not care about(if you are in a big company) is things like denial rates or employee experience.

      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.
