You’ve planned or done well. Our same medical advantage plan has gone from 70 plus dollars to 520 each over the same time. Many of my medications (all generics) have gone up by 2 or 3 hundred per cent triggering a max out on prescription expense by October and with two medications taken off the prescription coverage list (formulary I think they call it). I’m not in good health by any means and am being kept alive artificially with medicines and other treatments. My exercise/walking is limited by physical deterioration. It ain’t fun but it’s better than the alternative.
I hope you will stay reasonably in good health. I consider myself fortunate in discovering daily exercise when I was still in my 50’s and was able to walk without problems. I am convinced it is the best method to stay healthy for seniors. Push yourself the best you can to stay active. The body is an amazing machine which can heal and get stronger.
I have health insurance from ex-employer and it also covers my 2 kids who are still under age 26. The premiums have gone up from $85 to $431 over 17 years. It does cover dental also. We are quite happy with it when compared to Obamacare and it’s high deductibles.
