Dear Anthem

Dear Anthem,

This is unfair. As of this Friday all Anthem Insured patients will be cut off from The Health Alliance. This is Christ Hospital, University Hospital, St. Luke Hospital East, St. Luke Hospital West, Jewish Hospital, Fort Hamilton Hospital and Drake Center and all of the MD's associated with the Alliance. St. Luke is also trying to pair up with St. Elizabeth, so that would make that hospital out of network also. SO where is NKY going to go? All the way to Good Samaritan or Bethesda North? HMMMMMMMM... Guess so.
You need at transplant? Tough, that program is being cut out of Anthem also. University and Christ are the leading transplant hospitals. OH WELL for you. Pregnant? Going to deliver at a Alliance hospital? Oh well. Tough for you. Guess you will be switching OB's in the middle of your pregnancy, unless you want to pay out of network costs.
I work for the Health Alliance, I pick my doctors, the ones I know I like and can trust. I feel that this is my right. Well, not anymore. I have to switch doctors because Anthem doesn't want to pay what the Health Alliance is asking for reimbursement.
There is something horribly wrong here.
So Anthem, this is unfair.

We used to have Anthem when we lived in Cicinnati. I think I would be freaking out right about now...
