When I switched over to the company I'm with when I was 33, my health insurance was $75...good plan. $1,000 deductible.
The next year I was informed that it would go up to $100 because they haven't raised rates in a while.
When I turned 35, I was informed that it would go up to $135 since I reached a new age bracket.
After the healthcare reform, I was told it would go up to $158 to keep up with rising costs.
In the three years I've had it, it has doubled.
I was also informed that I narrowly missed the date to be 'grandfatherd' in with my current plan and when this year is up I will have to switch to the new way of healthcare.
My monthly cost will then go up to over $250 a month and my deductible will go from $1,000 to $2,500.
So in four years, my health insurance will go up $175 from where it started at $75 and my deductible will go up from $1,000 to $2,500. Awesome and fair.
