Ouch !!

Ouch !!
From the Des Moines Register:


Wellmark Blue Cross & Blue Shield is sending letters this week telling about 30,000 customers it plans to raise their premiums by 38 percent to 43 percent next year.



Oofda, I received one of those letters.  They are having hearings in Des Moines on the matter, I'd like to attend.  I can also see the proceedings turning into a riot.

I could see being tempted to participate in some unpleasantries myself.

And this ~40% jump next year follows an over 20% jump for me this year.  My thinking in getting that policy was to correct a problem I had with my pre-O-care policy; copays and deductibles that made it unusable.  I've replaced unusable with unaffordable.  I haven't done the math (and they didn't send the # with the hearing notice), but my annual premium is most likely to be in the 5 digits next year.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
