We're going to be shopping for something else, but Anthem and one other company won't quote any prices until after sign up.

Like the credit card companies that tried to financially gouge their customers in the months before the credit card protection restrictions kicked in. Let them tell you they no longer offer coverage for children, too.

"Won't quote prices until after sign up" - and people say no regulation is needed of this industry? Believe me, they would hold you to the price contract - as they freely disregard theirs, and indulge in rescission for the child with a pre-existing condition exclusion.

This is the folly of our nation: having what we receive as healthcare determined by those that make more money by not giving us healthcare.

We need to screw all this stuff and just go to single payer. Let everyone in the country buy the same insurance, of the same quality, Federal employees have. No exclusions, no pre-existing conditions. Just one big pool, everyone gets great health insurance with modern coverage.
