None of this supports your premise. Not sure what your point is actually.
Premiums on PDP's didn't increase because the costs of prescriptions increased. They increased because the government capped oop costs for beneficiaries.

From the article:
"Take, for example, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield's recent decision to limit payment for anesthesia servicesopens in a new tab or window. This policy would have limited payments based on CMS' "physician work time values," determination of how long a surgical case should take to performopens in a new tab or window. Such a policy is ludicrous. Surgeries, whether routine or complex, can often take longer than expected due to a variety of factors. Imagine a surgeon having to watch the insurance anesthesia clock while performing an organ transplant or removing a brain tumor. Thankfully, Anthem thought twice (following significant pushback) and reversed course."
Which is an absolute and blatant lie. The author is both an MD and an MBA. So, he isn't misinformed or uneducated. He's just a bald faced liar.

Notice you didn't include "doctors". And that's the problem in this healthcare debate. It's ASSUMED that because being a doctor is considered a noble profession, that every doctor has noble intentions. It's just the insurance companies that are greedy. But doctors and their professional associations are just as venal as any insurance company. Insurance companies are just playing with bigger numbers.
Hell, in the article I was replying to the doctor implied that anesthesiologist would cut off anesthesia in the middle of surgery if BCBS had implemented CMS work time value values. Even though, any serious "solution" to our healthcare system will involve specialists taking a pay cut anyway.
Shock poll: 41 percent of young voters find killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO acceptable
A poll found 41 percent of adults under 30 consider the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson acceptable, more than the 40 percent in that demographic who consider it unacceptable. Anger over health insurance companies has been in the spotlight after Thompson was fatally shot Dec. 4 in...
What evidence do you have that he lied about what their policy was going to be. That has been widely reported and that they pulled back from that policy after significant blow back.
