After being laid off earlier in the year I became eligible for COBRA for the standard 18 months. I was given a fee schedule which was the same price for all 18 months (~$700). I still keep in touch with my ex-coworkers and they told me that open enrollment this year has an 8% increase in premiums for them. Is my company eating the 8% difference for next year or will they adjust my COBRA payment going forward?
