The cost of healthcare insurance skyrocketed right after "domestic partner" coverage was inflicted on employer provided healthcare plans. I suspect the driver was covering for HIV treatment. The charts you cite tend to support that observation. Prior to the "domestic partner" provision, I had employee + spouse + family coverage through Kaiser Permanente for $25/month (when I started my current job 30 years ago today). Now, just employee + spouse cost $13,000+ in annual premiums for 80/20 coverage with a $6900 annual deductible.

I turned 65 in August. My HR department accepted my medical exception from the euthanasia injection. Today marks 30 years with my employer. I plan to work for them through 31 Dec 2022 assuming they can stay in business. Another year of exorbitant healthcare premiums. I'm avoiding Medicare for a year...it may be gone by this time next year.

Just another example of queers purportedly “keeping it in their own bedrooms.” Now it’s in our wallets.

... "domestic partner" coverage ...

They don't get all the blame.

We have these poor visitors from the south that need medical attention; too.

May God help you I am 69 and thank God, have not had to see a MD for about 40 years except to get a piece of rust out of my eye about 1989, but the ways the gov. spends money on credit then it will not be long before SS and medical programs are curtailed. Assuming China and Russia do not decide to take on the US with its new Wokelitary goal.
