Re: My Medical ins - Premium nearly doubled !!!

We are paying $555.10 per month for insurance under my husband's last employer, which was Caltech. It's Anthem Blue Cross. He could get insurance from his current employer but I don't like what they offer and it seems to be more expensive. Seems to be quite a difference in prices for all of us.

Steph...so far no big surprise...our premium has remained the same. However open enrollment for us is in November...so it may be coming soon. That's quite a big hit you took Steph...it's not right.
