OMG: My Health Insurance trippled

[Kev]

That's funny, because I just turned 25 and my car insurance is 1/3 of what it use to be. Yay!

Are you saying you can get coverage in the individual market for $149? That also seems impossibly cheap to me.

Yup my prems would be around $146.
but I'm single, and only 24 years old.

Does this cover hospitalization/drugs?? What's the coinsurance level/deductible levels?? Something doesn't seem right. You might want to review the plan provisions again.

As a general rule of thumb you always get much better rates in group insurance over individual insurance.

Anthem KeyCare Preferred

Which is 100 times better what new employer is offering.

United States health insurers are parasites.

I was paying for insurance on my own for about $100/month after leaving school. It was a pretty good plan. I had to go to the emergency room for stitches and it saved me a lot of money.

I think that maybe it depends on the state you live in?

Good point. I did not take that into account.

Damn man, I just went from $95 to $115 for myself and my wife. Sorry to hear that.

I thought COBRA was for when for when you lose your job (ie., no longer subidized). I always hear it is very expensive.

From my (admittedly limited) experience, it is. When I lost my previous job, the COBRA option was $400+ a month. The prescriptions I take amounted to less than half of that, so needless to say, I didn't take the COBRA.

Ahh, I sure missed the good old days at GM automotive business. They paid for 100%.
