Insurance cost hike AGAIN! Thanks Obama!

It's "enrollment" season and our costs are going up by 14%. Last year they went up, as well.
Thanks Mr. President for telling big fat lies about what your plan would do to insurance costs.

ours didn't go up.

Ya a friend of mine from AZ just for her $600 a month!! She decided to opt out and taker her chances. That didnt include her son on the policy.

I knw quite a few that have gone up. I am not sure about ours yet.

Ours are the same.

I think I heard that our tricare is being cut.

Ours went up at work 35%

Quoting khigh:" I think I heard that our tricare is being cut."

Really? Ouch..a friends dad has tri-care. He is retired military

ours went up ummm about $50 a month for the SAME EXACT COVERAGE!!! But for now I will be thankful we have insurance I suppose.

Most people have gotten hikes for 2 years in a row. If you havent you are either very fortunate to have such a nice employer and/or may have had your benefits reduced.

Don't get me wrong....I was extremely grateful for Tricare. 2 pregnancies and deliveries, all the prenatal care, shoulder surgery on both shoulders and zero dollars in bills from it. But I think Tricare is a system in need of some serious re-working on some things. What are they going to cut?

This. We cover our employees 100% They have no idea how much it actually costs. Next to payroll that is the company's biggest cost

My DHs work covered the raise last year so ours didn't go up....not sure about this year though. It is a pretty small company but they are doing pretty well right now so maybe we will get lucky again.

our coverage went back up, they had cut our vision allotment from our health plan. now that it is back, I can drop my vision insurance and save money.

Ours have gone up the past 2 years. We still dont pay as much out of our pockets as most b/c my DH works for a great company that foots most of the bill. For 2013 it will be about $290 a month for a family of 4. Health, dental, vision, life, disability and all included in that. So even though I hate that its going up again, i'd say we are still pretty lucky.
