I hate health insurance companies - little bit off topic

Big Blue is increasing my premiums 75%! Affordable care Act my ass! Since this fiasco started my premiums went from a premium no deductible plan with low co-pays to a high deductible crappie plan. I paid a higher premium for the better coverage but i was fine with that. Over two consecutive years that plan went up a total of 60% so we had to switch to the high deductible plan with a different carrier.. Now my current crappie plan will go from 874 per month premium to 1568 per month. Now we have to look at a different plan with carrier. The new carrier does not participate with my surgeons or any of my current doctors. I finally found providers I like and who understand me now again I have to start all over again. I'm so angry at the moment. I am the health benefits coordinator my company. I don't know how I can make it work both personally and professionally. I know my employees won't be able to afford the increase. I don't know how I will afford this if I can't find something else reasonable. Hate hate hate insurance.

I can totally relate! In the last three years our premiums have tripled and our deductible went from 0 to $100/person to $1000 person and we went from a small copay to 20% coinsurance. I know others have it much worse, but sucks when DH was told "free medical for life" when he hired on at company 30+ years ago!

You can thank the insurance company lobbies for this. And the republican congress for gutting the Affordable Care Act and creating the halfa## mess we ended up with.
