Explanation of BCBS so called deduction


Posted: Mar 24, 2010

I think you are referring to the language related to a special tax benefits offered as an incentive for HMO and non-profits to achieve high percentage medical loss ratios (the percentage of HMO premium revenues that pay for medical services). Common perception is that a high ratio is indicative of high quality care.   

Sec. 9016. Special deduction for Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS). Requires that non-profit BCBS organizations have a medical loss ratio of 85 percent or higher in order to take advantage of the special tax benefits provided to them under IRC Section 833, including the deduction for 25 percent of claims and expenses and the 100 percent deduction for unearned premium reserves.

I Propose A Tax Deduction For Every Eligible CitizenNov 14, 2015
The ONLY answer to terrorists living and hiding among us is the UNCERTAINTY AND FEAR that an armed citizenry would obviously pose to them as opposed to other countries, where they know perfectly well that they can conduct operations with little fear of opposition so long as they hit targets where there is no significant police or security presence. There should be NOWHERE in this nation that a terrorist would not know that he runs a serious risk of meeting armed opposition from ordinary citizen ...

This Is The Best Explanation I Have Seen. Jul 11, 2016
Courtesy of GeekAeslete on reddit: Imagine that you're sitting down to dinner with your family, and while everyone else gets a serving of the meal, you don't get any. So you say "I should get my fair share." And as a direct response to this, your dad corrects you, saying, "everyone should get their fair share." Now, that's a wonderful sentiment -- indeed, everyone should, and that was kinda your point in the first place: that you should be a part of everyone, and you should get ...

For Those Who Are Puzzled, An Explanation Of TheMar 18, 2016
Right up front, let me say that there are things about Donald Trump that I dislike intensely, and if my reading of the blogosphere, media, etc. is correct, there are many who dislike the same things.  In all fairness, however, most of my objections have to do with his persona and his presentation (which I consider to be undiplomatic and even adolescent at times), rather than with his IDEAS or POSITIONS.  It's important to distinguish between the package and its contents.  Th ...

Explanation Of ISIL & ISISDec 19, 2015
Interesting….IIMPORTANT Explanation!!! Hope you read and pass it on so others can know-understand HERE is an explanation of the difference between the terms ISIS and ISIL.

McConnell: May I Have A Plausible Explanation From Those In Transcription?Nov 06, 2014
As I mentioned yesterday (and from what I have read from others since my last visit), I, too, have become an independent because of the nonsense I have seen from both parties. That in no way means that I am for the abolition of parties, because I do believe one party often reins in the other, when the other goes "whack :) In fact, I believe we may need MORE parties for those of us who don't agree with the whole kit and caboodle of a single party. However, I think the problem today ...

Even if asylum seekers are found to be actual refugees, they’re not allowed to be settled in Australia. They’re sent to an offshore processing center. Trump is objecting to this. The rest of the world cannot just dump their problems on us. As far as Mexico, the media just flat out lied. ...
