As noted in my earlier blog, Anthem Blue Cross CA has already begun the process of plan re-tooling and, as of today, you cannot view any plans that will be available on or afte 9/23. I expect the other CA IFP carriers to follow this lead.

Without the perfect programs, definitely it wouldn’t be done perfectly. That is why; the local public health improvement program should involve the local public community to support the programs.
The perfect health improvement program should be done perfectly. To make it perfect, there are several things that should be done. One of the most important things is by getting the local public health data.
Based on the data, the program could be determined. It would be even better if it could involve the local wisdom. There are many kinds of local wisdom that could be used to determine the directions of the programs.
But somehow, we should try to make some personal approach to the local community. With the personal approach, the local community would be more opened and it means, it would be easier to gain some information from them.
