My current plan will not be available next year. Its changing again. The new comparable plan is $200 more a month and has an OOP max of $6350 (compared with $2500) AND my prescription coverage is now 50% up to $125 per instead of a $10 copay. The one prescription I use 5 times a year means I'll be out another $575 a year.
In fact, the company is not truly offering a "group plan" any longer. What they are doing is paying a % of each employees plan. The available options are all based upon age. Therefore all the older employees are getting screwed even harder.

ETA - One coworker will be paying over $900 a month for just him and his wife. Thats almost double from last year.

Thanks Obama!
