No surprise here. Go figure your monthly, then the yearly deductible and ask yourself where the breaking point will occur? If not in January of 2015, then 2016 or 2017? What was done in 2010....simply is pushing us toward bigger long term issues, at a quicker pace.
Our company trigon bcbs policy doubled on 3 jumps two years time. A little help here... Woo hoo, doh!
My rates are going up about 5% after having gone down in 2014.
Thirteen percent???
Pikers!
My healthcare premium has doubled in two years thanks to the Idiot-in-Chief.
Not that Tillis would ever do it, but a series of THANK YOU SENATOR HAGAN ads would be very effective right now. Basically show middle class people holding up their “insurance bill”, describing their increase, and then thanking Senator Hagan for supporting that crap.
Mine went up 25.00 a month, so that puts me at 385 and change a month, plus a 30 dollar co-pay for each visit and a 7500.00 deductible. I am on no meds and I am healthy, at least for now. I do have a great drug plan if I can keep it in the future. But this is my plan that we pay for oursleves.
2012 +33%
2013 +33%
(includes Flex reduction from 5000 to 2500, caused the lost 2500 to be taxable at top marginal rate)
2014 no change
2015 +22%
Health insurance rates going up is unheard of.
Calling it the “Affordable Care Act” was supposed to take the stigma of its flaws away from calling it “obamacare”
oh, the irony. It burns.
My wife’s Florida Blue policy, without any changes, is going up 22%! Already high and going higher.
Hey! BCBS left out the $2,500 that Clown Prince nobola said he’d “save” us on our policies. Maybe it was just an administrative oversight.
