Wife’s plan was cancelled by Florida Blue but at least they had the courtesy to call and tell us an option was available. Premium went up by 66%, deductible was raised to $6,250, and some coverage for testing was either omitted or the co-pay significantly increased. But it’s nice to know she has maternity coverage now that she’s well beyond her child bearing age. My increase in Social Security won’t come close to covering the health insurance increase, hence my disposable income will decrease. I’m sure our politicians allowed for the “trickle down” effect of Americans having less to spend and how it will affect the economy. Why, all we need to do is raise the minimum wage and put out more government subsidies. Yeah, like that will work.....
“But it’s nice to know she has maternity coverage now that she’s well beyond her child bearing age.”
That’s the thing - it’s not maternity coverage for her. She’s financing maternity coverage for all the hood rats, trailer trash and illegals. From each according to their means, comrade. :)
