    12% increase = 1% of pay

    4% increase last year pennies to increase...

    I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the Kool-Aid! Hope there is a cheap pill to cure that condition!

    Oh, and taxes to go up next year and new tax to cover health care????

    FEHB Health Plan premiums for 2013 were announced by OPM today.

    OPM says the average plan went up by just over 3%.

    My plan went up more. How about yours?

    Here is the link:
    Premium Rates

    then click on 2013 rates for either HMO's or Fee for Service plans to get to yours.

    OPEN SEASON begins in early November.

    Much better than the 8-12% increase I had been getting for most of the past 10 years!

    Thank you Mr President...Thank You Obamacare!!!
    If not replaced ObamaDon'tCare will eventually change the health coverage of government workers, I can see it in the stars. I really don't think you will like the results, but go right ahead and don't pull your brain out of the clouds but watch out for the lightening.

    I don't think it is going to make a difference what kind of health care insurance you have. It is all a scam.

    This is in todays paper (The Plain Dealer) A little side banner on the front page. Below is the complete article.

    Coming Sunday, Medical Billing: A World of Hurt.
    The Cleveland Clinic and other area hospital systems are doing away with the age-old doctor's office visit - the cornerstone of care for a generation of Americans. Doctors are seeing patients in off-campus health centers, rather than traditional offices, allowing the hospitals to charge higher fees. Since insurance doesn't always cover all of the added costs, patients are hit with big bills. The Plain Dealer's yearlong series Medical Billing: A World of Hurt examines the growing trend.
    May the force be with us.

    In 2013 I will be paying 9.5% of my pretax salary to health care.

    The plan's employee responsibility went up 9% for the year.

    Some success by Medicaid Fraud Investigators:

    Troy Couple Plead Guilty In $13.4M Medicare Fraud « CBS Detroit



    Troy Couple Plead Guilty In $13.4M Medicare Fraud

    <snip>
    According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Raymond Arias admitted to paying physicians to refer patients with Medicare benefits to Elite Wellness, and to purchasing Medicare beneficiary identifications for the purpose of submitting fraudulent claims to Medicare for expensive infusion therapy services that were not rendered as claimed by Carefirst.


    Court documents show that Emelitza Arias participated with her husband in the scheme to defraud Medicare by submitting claims for expensive infusion therapy services that were not rendered by Carefirst, of which she was also an owner. In an attempt to create an appearance that Carefirst was a legitimate business, Emelitza Arias allegedly injected patients with vitamins.


    The government says the couple submitted about $13.4 million in bogus claims in 2009-2011, and Medicare paid about $5.9 million — $2.6 million of which Raymond Arias had wired to offshore bank accounts in Panama and Mexico.
    Sad. At least the U.S. Government (maybe somebody here on this board?) was able to arrest them.

    Roughly a 10% increase in premium, with no pay raise.

    Wink Re: FEHB Health Premiums up

    I am getting an early return on ObamaCare. Saving a little over $1 every pay period.

    Of course, the fee jumped 10% in 2010 after bumping 10% in 2009 after years of little or no increase. Those increases ended up being a bit higher than the $1. Something closer to $40. But there is hope - in 40 years I can get to even
    Lookin' up at the 'G Fund'!!!
