One of the terms of my early retirement is that I am able to buy health insurance under my ex-company's group plan. Additionally, the company pays part of the monthly premium. For this I am thankful.
However, my cost for the monthly premiums has doubled in the past two years, far exceeding inflation. As we all know, this could be considered a financial crisis if the trend continues unabated.
I am interested how other E-R members are dealing with the dramatic rise in health care costs, especially those that may have another 10 years or more until eligible for Medicare coverage.
So tell me, how are each of you dealing with the situation?
