starting the first of January when your health insurance increases from $200/mo. to $400/mo. No increase in benefits, just doubling the price.
That's just my HUSBAND'S health insurance. (For me to be insured would cost about $500/mo more than we make) We can't afford to let it go or even lapse. He's almost 60 and we'd never get insurance again if we decided to shop elsewhere.
and it's for him alone. I can't get insurance due to preexisting (serious) conditions. OK, yes, I could if we could afford it but to insure me would cost more than we make a month.
We just got notified that our home owner's insurance no longer has a license to sell coverage in SC. So far, we haven't seen anything less than double what we're paying. My husband's going to look some more but that much more in insurance will raise our mortgage payment by about 25%.
So all our insurances are doubling (except car for this year...I've already paid it for the next year) and my husband hasn't had a raise since he started working for these people 3 years ago.
