dumb question, this applies to retirees, too?
Of course. You think they get some discount plan? Medicare is the only discount one you can get.

Good point. I consider my (excellent) insurance to basically just be catastrophic coverage at this point, given deductibles and OOP.

It's not just government. We are enriching the middleman. Health insurance companies made record profits last year. So they raise premiums, deny care, profit. What's not to love?

If you’ve read the headlines, this is going on everywhere. From the WSJ:
https://www.wsj.com/health/healthcare/health-insurance-cost-increase-5b35ead7
“Health-insurance costs are climbing at the steepest rate in years, with some projecting the biggest increase in more than a decade will wallop businesses and their workers in 2024.
Costs for employer coverage are expected to surge around 6.5% for 2024, according to major benefits consulting firms Mercer and Willis Towers Watson, which provided their survey results exclusively to The Wall Street Journal.”

Ridiculous! $50 extra/month for health insurance vs. a pay raise of $500/month.
