Everything is going up, up, up.

It’s time for Open Enrollment where I work and to no surprise, premiums have risen by ridiculous percentages compared to everything else.

  • Medical insurance premium up 22%.
  • Retail Prescriptions : No changes to co-pay.
  • Mail Order Prescriptions : Generics now free! Co-pay for brand name down 25%! (I imagine this is because the company I work for is now owned by a mail order pharmacy. Ha!)
  • Dental insurance premium up 56%.
  • Vision insurance premium up 33%.
  • Short Term Disability insurance premium up 15%.

Don’t get me wrong - I’m very grateful I have insurance. But, when will the increases return to normal percentages?
