Exploding health care premium

[Anonymous]

Our premium at work is going up by whopping 40%. So we will now pay $980 compared to $700 last year. Of course the salary stays the same.

Anyone in a similar situation?

Well someone has to pay for everyone who got glp1s off label.

Yup. Some people have genuine health issues that they are not responsible for. But a 5'6 woman with no diabetes weighting 145 lbs jumping on glp1 is ridiculous and we are all paying for it because she wants to be skinny. She should pay for it out of her own damn pocket.

This is only the beginning. It gets worse from here.

You are experiencing stagflation in your personal budget. Soon the nation will experience the same. Be thankful you are employed. Find a side gig.

Yes, even those who don't vote Republican and could see this coming.

We've been on the ACA for years, and this year we received notice that we no longer qualified for advance tax credit... and then we received a message saying it was a mistake, our coverage would continue as before.

I am now thoroughly confused, and will just wait for my next bill to see whether anything has changed.

What on earth are you on about? Anyone who is 5’6” and 145lbs isn’t getting a glp1 without paying “out of her own damn pocket” (and she probably isn’t even getting it then).

This is the real problem— extreme ignorance regarding how the healthcare system works.

We have tricare and it no better. Our premiums, co-pays and deductibles go up, no doctor choice, and they will not pay for expensive medical equiptment I need.
