One more data point:
I'm a healthy 31 year old, very happy with BCBS, and paying $140 a month for
the more expensive package that lets me go to any doctor I like (can't
remember what they call it).

One month after joining BCBS I had to have multiple heart tests that weren't
cheap. BCBS made it extremely easy and never complained about the bill.
