Probably not. This is a public library. They really had no choice because they just couldn't afford Anthem anymore. My wife is an administrator and helped decide on UHC because it offered the best package for what they could afford to pay. Our copays have still gone up, but it was either that or a much shittier plan. It's not a $0 cost plan either, because public library budgets aren't exactly massive.

So I don't blame them and my wife for switching to UHC. Their hands were pretty much tied. They want to do right with their employees and they aren't trying to make a profit.

That health insurance companies exist at all is the problem.
