View submission: Hackensack Meridian Health is adamant about jacking up their hospital prices even higher and will no longer be covered under Horizon insurance plans

Although the title leads you believe Hackensack Meridian Health is a potential bad guy here, first and foremost I don't trust Horizon as far as I can throw them!

My company recently had to switch providers. Horizon was trying to up our costs 70 percent for the same coverage. Ended up getting a cheaper plan that covered a lot more with lower deductibles.

I'd agree but for them to publicly call them out is telling. Meridian will defend itself publicly if this is a lie. Chances are they won't do that so you'll know they were trying to gouge. Or they'll use language to defend it by blaming a pharmacuetical company or something else (inflation, raises they claimed they gave etc).

Srsly, this is like when Cablevision and MSG were fighting over how much extra to charge customers.
