Before we all rush to man the barricades, though, remember these are the same health plans that precipitated a different kind of outrage a few years ago when companies like Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico and Presbyterian Healthcare Services proposed completely justifiable 20-plus percent premium increases.

I should also point out that owners of these plans periodically call the Journal to complain that they just found out their pregnancies, their cancers or their bum knees are not covered, and they now face horrendous medical bills.
