Just reviewed this thread I posted in 2007 complaining about my premium jumping to $630.
Well, I just got the increase for 2010 and it is $1,138 a month
Insurance in NY really sucks. We only have 3 companies to choose from. I have Univera (the $1,138 a month). Independent Health wants $1,148 a month and BC/BS is even higher. And remember, we're talking about coverage for ONE PERSON -- not a family
I went back to work last year part-time to help pay for my medical insurance, but my salary doesn't even cover my premiums. Unfortunately, since I'm part-time, I can't get insurance through my employer.
I'll be 63 in February so I have two more years until I can get Medicare.
Anybody else actually paying this much for individual, direct pay insurance? I bet there isn't.
