Am I crazy or did rates go way up? I know the switch from bi-weekly to semimonthly adds a bit, but I’m seeing the cheapest option for the employee only HSA Plan in the low 90’s. I currently pay just under 50 for my medical premium. Unless I’m reading something wrong, that’s about a 70% increase year over year.
WTF
@1bv I'm so glad all the digital native generations who have started driving are so addicted to their phones that my car insurance rates have skyrocketed in the past two years. It always warms my heart to pay more for my insurance because they can't be bothered to put a phone down while operating a high-speed 3 ton ki-ling machine.
I’m glad to hear employees who chose to
have children, and then enrolled them in the company’s insurance, are being asked to shoulder more of the expenses involved. Discriminating against childless employees by requiring them to subsidize others’ family expenses is just wrong.
I am floored by the premium increase. For the same plan, family coverage, my per paycheck premium goes from $303 to $514. That's almost 70%!!!
@bv Yes, we all increased. But OP's increase at 70% is why I advised it might be the 100k issue. Obviously all our insurance cost increases aren't all due to hitting a new pay band.
18.5% increase in MO - no change in plan elections; only covering my own costs. Fu--ing disgusting, but who can really expect anything different from this clownshow?
@ma obviously missed the Koch-backed study by Mercatus that showed single-payer would save the country trillions.

You should quit WF and get a job as a comedian. There has never been a time in American history where government made something cheaper or more available. Not once. Never has happened, never will happen. Healthcare is expensive and hard to get specifically because of government. The more it gets involved, the worse it gets. It's not shocking, that's what these laws are designed to do. It's completely intentional. They want prices to go up and, surprise surprise, they are. They want claim denials to go up, and the are. They want availability to get worse, and it is. They want to get the gov between you and your doctor, and that are. None of this is, in any way, an unintended consequence.
Me and all my comrades paying into it on our first 184k earned this year are, along with the companies we work for. It’s a big Ponzi scheme, Medicare and social security
@b6 It's called FICA and everyone who works contributes. Your kids will NOT be subsidizing my health care. I have worked since I was 14 and it's completely ignorant to act like you and yours will be supporting something I already took care. Who is paying for YOUR parents healthcare? Oh wait.....now use your limited intelligence to crack that code!
We don't get the rate sheet as a comparison anymore so you only see your personalized rate all while they add two new compensation tiers??? Seems suspicious.
Hope they show what everyone pays, so I don't think theyve created a couple wild tiers that pay less than I do for premiums.
@b5 Charlie too has his security detail, armed.
Up 19% in Charlotte for anthem HSA
@cs The ACA being severely rolled back is exactly what has driven up those costs there Einstein.
I would like to know whether we used our darlin AI to find out where we are getting ripped off.

14.5 % increase for AZ UHC HRA with Copay
The Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) has worked out really well....
All of you are clearly lying. That one guy said we'd save $2500/year on our insurance, and it's clearly happening exactly as intended!
UHC up 28% in NC. The details are even even worse. If I am reading this correctly, the name brand dr-gs are moving from $25/month to $75/month. That’s nuts.
You’ve got a point but at the same time my kids will subsidize your Medicare/SS later on in life.
I am sure this is going to be down voted however, anyone with an employee and spouse coverage is subsidizing every family in this company so they are in no position to whine. The spouse coverage is the same as a family of 5. So please be kind to your TINC co-workers.
@be My cost increased by 32% and my comp has been above $100k for years. I wouldn't write off the crazy percentage increases to just people who've hit that milestone (and frankly, how many people are even seeing big compensation jumps these days)
Mine went up 19%. Crazy stuff
If you think it's expensive now, wait until it's "free".
Thank goodness for Lord Voldemort care.
If your comp increased to be over $100,000 (bonus is included in this calculation), your individual price will have increased. Add to that the actual increases, it can hit hard. I hit that $100,000 milestone last year and it definitely hurts.
In MN, premiums going up 22%
28% Anthem. Ridiculous, squeeze, squeeze.
@b7 open enrollment started today, you can go in and see what you'll be charged, and compare it to what's being taken out of your paycheck currently. Be good if more people shared data, I suspect its bad all over. UHC is a nightmare-tier insurance company and a good signal for what the execs think of us
We were told the new premiums aren’t being shared.
Actually, much like social security, this is all tied to the generations that come after baby boomers, subsidizing the boomers. Can’t have them paying for any healthcare themselves, we need to cover it for them!
Gotta pay for those "healthcare" CEOs to have security details. Wouldn't want to get taken out walking down a street.
My premiums are increasing by 29%. For United Healthcare, which provides garbage coverage and has the worst denial rates in the industry. I pay $500 OOP every three months to a telehealth/compounding pharmacy because UHC stopped covering meds Aetna had no problem covering before we switched over
Italian man had it right
I am single, no kids, and my only change was upgrade in dental coverage. My premiums will increase 80% in 2027.
Mine is 17% higher than 2026 for the same coverage. Ooof…
Mine "only" went up 15%.
But it depends what state you are in....
Insurance cost is increasing 1216/year or 15.8% for a family of 4 (HSA)
