At a corporate level they would definitely be cheaper than blue cross because you're probably under a group plan. Blue Cross is hard to beat even for the insurance companies if you're looking at
Price only.
Grimm you should be looking at what part of the plans are more important to you, will your family be planning on using dental more? prescription drugs more? vision care more? are alternative health providers (acupuncture, massage, etc.) important? as each company has slightly different maximums and coverage with various plans (ie. Blue Cross has 80% coverage with their highest plan, Great West Life has 90% coverage but both are max $10k per year). There's a ton of research, and lots of little differences sometimes like dispensing fees for drugs you have to pay each time, how much is the deductibles for dental, etc.
