Just went to my company's annual Health Insurance meeting last week.
We've been notified that our premiums will be going up $123/mo. (yes, for the same shitty coverage).
However, they're trying to get us to sign up for lower premiums with the caveat that the employee pays the first $6K out of pocket for anything other than yearly Wellness checks.
Now, I don't know about anybody else, but I've never budgeted for $6K out of pocket in addition to my ungodly premiums.
Seems like complete horseshit.
The monthly premium on that plan would be about $180/mo less than what we'd pay if we elect the same coverage from last year. So really, just $60/mo. less than what I'm paying now.
Oh, and they started the meeting blaming Obamacare.
That was funny.
