| We are retired and pay about $5350/mo for the 4. Up from $4900 last year but down from a few years ago when it was $5500. PPO and it sucks |

| I pay $750 a month just for me. If I went on ACA, it would be twice that. |

| Yup, happens every year. My 2-3% raise is less per paycheck than my insurance premium increase so, unless I’ve gotten a big salary bump, my take home pay gets to be less every year. |

| I don’t know how much the premiums will change, but the cost sharing percentages between employer and employee won’t change through 2028. |
