BlueCross BlueShield would not lower my annual premiums by an average of $2500 today

After the historic, infamous, vote yesterday, I called BlueCross BlueShield today to ask if I should divide the $2500 in average annual savings over the next 12 months – I figured I’d just subtract $200/month and let them keep the extra $100 for the year. I said that the President had promised me that I was going to save that much per year and that given that health insurance reform would take effect tomorrow, I would beat the rush to find out how to save the money.

They laughed.

I even sent them this link in order to show them that I had been promised the savings many, many times over the last 18 months:

The next step will be to portray the insurance companies as evil because they have not reduced premiums, increased coverage and lowered costs. The is about controlling you and your life from Washington, not health care.
