The Dark Horse Comics drama is so intriguing to me. I'm not defending them. But I get the impression y'all have NO IDEA how common blanket trans exclusions are in small group plans.

Hi. OP here. I've been going after and writing about that system nonstop for *years* while sitting on my own former employer's (and ex's current employer) shit out of fear of retaliation. Seeing them presenting themselves *again* as LGBT-friendly this June kinda hit a wall.
-
And because in this case it's a company that goes out of its way to spin itself as LGBT-friendly; and because I have documentation of attempts to get them to change the policy and the fucked up excuses they made.
-
I've written for years about the exceptions; about ERISA; about all of that. And what I've learned is that sometimes traction takes putting a face on it. Also, I'm angry and sad and tired of sitting on my hands WRT my own abusive ex-employer while exposing other people's.

I have worked for a insurer. One way cost is 'balanced': While each small company is priced based on the usual metrics, the insurer treats ALL the small companies as a 'cost averaged pool.' Of course, once one small company 'pops' the average, the price goes up for them.

The intention of ACA is to help with this - friends in a small business don’t have to broker for small business plans, any more; the business subsidizes their market plans. Is there any reason Dark Horse can’t use that model?
