Physician's Mutual just raised their supplement rates for those on Medicare by 9% and other companies even more
Letter from Physician's Mutual | 31 July 2023 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin

Posted on 07/31/2023 8:06:34 PM PDT by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin

I can not even begin to explain the complete outrage and livid anger towards the government I have now. I can not put it into words. The government (Biden and his minions in particular) flat out lies about inflation saying it is moderating, or, going down... blah, blah, blah and Physician's Mutual just raised my supplemental insurance rate by 9% and Mutual of Omaha just raised theirs nearly 18%!!!

Everything I even look at in the store to buy is now outrageously priced and gasoline jumped up to $3.50 for regular around here and even more. The things we buy on which there is sales tax also skyrocket with that higher price. Suddenly our wages are worthless. It seems no leadership has the real will to fight the government on excess spending and the media is in bed with the government/Congress to keep the government/Congress from shutting them down.

When some tried to do what was right, the evil leftists came up with the "Resist!" slogan. Why don't WE have the will to fight for what is right as strongly as they fight for what is wrong? What is wrong with us???

We can't stand each other...How are we going to stand together against an enemy? It's not going to happen. A nation divided against itself CAN NOT STAND.

My auto insurance has increased 13% in the last year — on a now 5 year old vehicle.

I don't have the most recent numbers, but everything government touches via student loans, medicare, healthcare, creates higher pricing.

Healthcare alone will bankrupt the United States. It’s not an opinion, it is mathematics.

For plenty of analysis on the topic go to this website (a private business owner who vents a lot about medicine in the United States):

https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?blog=Market-Ticker

It’s only a matter of time before we are bankrupt. For instance I could fly to Hungary, Poland or the Czech Republic and get a medical procedure I had done in the US and could have saved a boatload of money.

Matter of fact, with the top tier health insurance our company provides, I could have flown to Europe, get my procedure, vacation for two weeks for less than what I was charged in the poorest metropolitan area in the US.

Before anyone tries to but, but, but quality I have a word. I did have a procedure that cost $2,500 in Eastern Europe from a doctor who was well published and teached at Albert Einstein school of medicine in New York.

Yes you get top notch physicians even in Eastern Europe. Don’t try making excuses.

Predictable following the substantial COLA adjustment at the start of this year.

AFAIK, Medicare supplement prices increase every year with age, aside from price hikes necessary due to inflation. No such thing as a free lunch.

9%? A close family member saw an increase of 13% in May.

If Trump can make it in, he better go scorched earth on this Govt!
This Country seems like it has one last chance to get back on track, and a ton of people in power are GD traitorous Marxists.
He BETTER CLEAN HOUSE! Clean out an everything top to bottom.
Drill oil/gas immediately, deport illegals, finish the wall, and charge the real insurrectionists, like corrupt DOJ officials. There are so many areas to clean up not sure he can do it all, and right the economy whilst dealing w everything else.
God help us!!

I used to sell Physicians Mutual. They were the most stable price. At least in Arizona.

The Boomers are enrolling in Medicare in record numbers and they are using it! Consequently, costs are rising.
