Just got that MEC email about the meeting in the 19th FLL.

What's up with our "insurance provider" new company?, even higher rates?

Anyone knows?

what would make it better? Your premiums, deductible and co-pay are protected by contract. If they are switching to United it is because the company is saving money. My doctor isn't in the United network. Is ours? How would you like to switch doctors to save Spirit money?

As far as I am concerned if the doctor network is reduced then my policy has been diminished. Union ok with this?

I didn't say it is better. I was asking if anyone knows if this is a better choice or not. I guess this has already been decided as an ok Insurance by our union in our behalf , and it is a surprise now that it will become the norm starting next year.

Secondly, yes my dr and our kids dr do take United.

But I guess we will be educated about this HMO PPO during the MEC meeting on the 19th.
