      Yup. Fun fact: health insurance for employees was 30% less in LA than SF. LA isn’t cheap but cut our costs at least 20% when we left. https://twitter.com/Suhail/status/1299954019478065152 …

      Why is health insurance so much cheaper in another city in the same state?

          I was actually shocked when I learned about it when we received our quotes and am not entirely sure why but other have covered https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Healthcare-costs-30-more-in-Northern-than-in-12782446.php … it

          Always a good sign that the pricing is so opaque that the Attorney General is pressured into investigating massive price discrepancies and 2 years later no answer - presumably you'd ask the insurance companies themselves, no?

          hypothesis: perhaps real estate is cheaper in LA than SF, that would impact on higher costs for facilities and employee compensation

          Hospital systems are far less consolidated in LA = less bargaining power with insurers and dictating high rates. We don't have the Sutter Healths of the world down here.

          Believe healthcare costs are very opaque...patient demographics, treatments involved, insurance contracts, state/federal reimbursements, cost allocation. This is probably valid in other states as well

          Because employers will pay the premium?

          Probably the hospital costs? Where do janitors live in San Francisco vs Los Angeles?
