HMO Implant Nightmare: Batteries Not Included
 

If John Grisham were looking to write about health care reform he might be inspired by a recent federal lawsuit filed in Mississippi against the local Blue Cross & Blue Shield and the Electric Power Association's benefits plan.


The lawsuit provides a window into the chaos created by America's piecemeal insurance market. Workers face an ever-shifting array of health benefits that change each year at open enrollment time as employers shop around for better deals. What's covered in 2008 suddenly may not be in 2009.
