17% increase for me - yippee! (sarcasm)

I'm on a single retiree plan; spouse has her own single plan.

Guess it could be worse and I'm fortunate to have this option until age 65, but it's over $400 more than last year.

What are y'all seeing for 2026 premiums?

Ours was like 20% with the school district only adding $5/month in contributions.

Said frick that and am moving to one share. Wife and I are healthy anyway. If the kids need anything we’ll figure it out with the extra money we’re saving.

Having the coverage provided by my former employer until I'm eligible for Medicare is what is fortunate - not the 17% premium increase.

After hearing of all the horror stories of everyone else's increasing, the company I work for had premiums somehow decrease by 2%.

Damn truth! I have the same thing, and it has allowed me to retire a full 5 years early.

Mine increased 5.5%….still the best deal around.

It’s almost like there’s no incentive for healthcare costs to be lower. It’s out of control.

Obama's Legacy is a piece of shite like him.

Premiums have gone up 300-400% since that idiot passed his Obamacare Bill.

All while coverages went down

While the Obama's enjoy the luxury of five homes

We had a 0% increase this year. Everything stayed exactly the same. I've never had this happen in my 30 years of working.

About the same.

Christian Healthcare Ministries. $300/mo.

Can get a better deal at work but every time I open a patient chart I see the billing department fighting with the crooked insurance company.

Yeah. In my case, the coverage itself had no changes just the premium.
