Plan Choice Suggestions UHC as bad as everyone is saying?

I own my own SMALL company. I had Humana and the health insurance policy was deleted and no longer offered. My insurance agent hooked me up with a plan from UHC. For six people it’s a little over $6,000. A month. With the event this morning I am reading terrible reviews of UHC that is completely freaking me out. Are they really that bad? Should I look elsewhere and if so where? What company is less on the evil side? I’m not looking for anyone to quote me pricing, I’m looking for those in the industry which companies they would want based on their dealings.

Thanks for any insight!

I wasn’t thrilled with Humana either, ER visit for a tick bite cost me $3,000. and I was never in a hospital bed or seen by an actual doctor.

Edit: Well I just noticed that Anthem BCBS is not going to cover anesthesia if the surgery goes into overtime basically in my state. Everything I’m reading since yesterday is just appalling.

Yes. They are awful. If you have an option to go with another carrier I would pick that. You never truly know how much they will pay for each claim. They always seem to have an answer to justify not paying out.
