$2.67 Billion doesn’t even shake out to a payment for someone on one of these plans for more than 2/3 of the period covered by the settlement.

I wonder how many people didn't get paid their 'under 5 dollars'. Would be neat to add up that total.
If you divide $2.67 billion by US population 343 million you get $7.77 per person. And not every person uses BCBS or could even be part of the settlement. so I really wonder what trickery is used to say OP got less than $5.
Probably the trickery that had some executive looking at that 'meaningless' number and thinking they should shave it off for their next yacht.
