Competition among health insurance providers has greatly increased, which has increased consumer choice and lowered prices. My company finally made the decision to abandon our BCBS grandfathered group plan and purchase from the health insurance exchange. I say "finally" because since the exchange got going here in Middle Tennessee, there have been plans offered that are superior in price and benefits to our old plan. Our company leaders wanted to wait for legal challenges to the ACA to work out before making any changes. But this year we made the switch.

It's worked very well here.
