Blue Cross and Blue Shield | Health care system | Heatlh & Medicine | Khan Academy

Sal and Dr. Baker talk a bit about Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Created by Sal Khan.

Health & Medicine on Khan Academy: No organ quite symbolizes love like the heart. One reason may be that your heart helps you live, by moving ~5 liters (1.3 gallons) of blood through almost 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles) of blood vessels every single minute! It has to do this all day, everyday, without ever taking a vacation! Now that is true love. Learn about how the heart works, how blood flows through the heart, where the blood goes after it leaves the heart, and what your heart is doing when it makes the sound “Lub Dub.”

For free. For everyone. Forever. #YouCanLearnAnything

I got my blue shield blue cross from working at Amazon and I think it’s a pretty decent health insurance plan 😊

[annbrucepineda]

My parents had Blue Cross Blue Shield for years. My mom was a cancer survivor but, in twelve years, her claims were not rejected - 1958 to 1970. It was bought in AR but she lived and worked in AL, LA and TN.

Is there no limit to your knowledge?

Thanks for a bunch of informative videos.

Several infomercials are being displayed with misinformation for students. Links are being connected to curriculum and textbooks that are trustworthy. They deserved to imprisoned and sued to restitutional fees.

I've had this awful insurance company as a fed and a retiree, but this year I'm jumping ship because they've become a monolith that routinely denies patients benefits. Their nurse case managers are there not to help you, but to work on behalf of the insurance company to deny benefits. While clinical nurses are working 12 hours shifts, they sit in offices and play gatekeeper. I've dealt with several of these parasites and I won't even talk to them anymore. It's open enrollment and BCBS is rated very low. They're expensive and they give your information to third party vendors. BullCrapBullShit

They were NON-Profit. As such they build a new Headquarters campus in North Haven Connecticut as the Headquarters. AFTER building the new campus (as a Non-Profit), the directors suddenly changed to a FOR-PROFIT Corporation. To keep it "clean" BCBS lobbied government to change tax laws.

Good. I have just read your journal ' Good Health '. (summer ' 22). It is fine and pleasure.

[johnnypinkleton]

my parents have Blue Cross Blue Shield. Within their first month, their premium was raised...look elsewhere if possible.

[sfairborneinfantry.godsmen]

Is it for profit or non for profit association of BCBS is all I want to know. For profit is for numbers. Non for profit is for the best of the customer. That is all I care about.

[GameFactz]

Sal is so subtle... it can in theory charge revenue-KhanAcademehDoesn't- but it could.... So freaking subtle.

At a previous employer located in Iowa, I had BCBS of Illinois because the corporate office was in Illinois. It was excellent insurance, best I ever had, but it was also very expensive, especially if you chose the option for the smaller co-pay. Eventually, it got so pricey that the employer changed to a different insurance carrier which was not as good quality-wise, but much more affordable for the company and for the employees.

[pasqualedidonna]

I currently reside overseas and want to opt out from paying my BCBS medical insurance. It is not right that Medicare is still taking $500 a month from my retirement. Who do I call in the US? Please help?

[WallaceNewEngland]

$900 per month. Warren Buffet called them tapeworm. And I called them blood suckers.

[aSheeple]

@SzlampStudios that's cause Michael Moore is all about the state of the game, while this is about history.

[JinJung]

Health care that is for-profit driven is just insane in my opinion.

Rght now, anthem blue cross is trying to NOT pay for my bills... gives me headache just thinking about it.

thanks for the history of blue cross and blue shield, khan!

BC/BS of Texas is very expensive. It's all about money and not about public health.

[asrr]

Why does Blue Shield of California you have a ONE STAR D- rating with the BBB? Why do you have a one star rating with 795 reviews on Yelp? How is that ok?
