Is 8% sustainable?

Who knows....


BAM!

At 8%, over a period of 9 years the cost of the policy would double.

Chas

So that's the affordable part.

I hate stop signs. We should get rid of them.

This is the first time in ten years that my premiums won't go up and my benefits won't shrink.

Yippee!

Ours both renewed at the same price as last year. They offered a Part D but at twice what Florence currently has and with Bell I don't need Part D.

December 1st, as it is every year.

That is much lower than the increases of a few years ago. I am sure we could have probably received lower rates if we wanted to increase the deductible to more than 500/1500. It wouldn't surprise me if some of the increase is due to the policy having to cover more services than it used to because of the ACA.

Was 20-25% percent "sustainable"?

What's to say it will be 8% next year?

Could be more, could be less.

Nice try, Pete.
