FEHB Health Premiums up

[nasa1974]

I guess my Social Security check will help cover my FEHB insurance increase.

Premiums go up; benefits go down. That's been my story for the whole of my government career.

Yeah I got hit the past year with a ~$150 dental bill to cover an x-ray. Dentist didn't realize that benefit had been removed for 2020 and neither did I.

It's only going to get worse. Think of all those people who are wasting time getting (free) COVID tests "just to be safe". Someone has to pay for that.

- “Just to be safe and responsible”. Making sure they don’t potentially kill people because they are continuing to go through life like a person that doesn’t harbor an infectious virus that kills people.
