Yes, but then Joe has his lawn done for him, at no cost.  I expect that I will see price increases across the board.  Unfortunately, between the increases in my health insurance and Medicare, my "big" COLA is not keeping pace.

TriCare Pharmacy copays went up 1 January, but I am not complaining because TriCare backing up Medicare makes the 22 years of moving around and family sacrifices recognized and rewarded.  Even the Medicare Part B premiums are reasonable considering the coverage Medicare provides.

Yes, but unfortunately the COLA is not keeping pace with increase in health care costs (I have FEP BC/BS for my supplemental insurance).  Not only did Medicare go up, my back up insurance went up too.  I have no complaints about my federal pension or my health insurance.  

I do mind inflation and my investments tanking.

Actually didn't know that, but then again I didn't know they had a commercial becuase I don't watch them.  I do know that when I call customer service I get someone in Birmingham, not New Dehli.

I have been with them since the first year they were available in Tallapoosa County and only gotten to like them more each year.  ZERO copay for any doctor, even specialist and no referel needed to see them either.  I know what I am going to pay for test I get before I go and most of them are only $50 copay on my plan.  Hospital stays are a daily rate also and that is all inclusive, no extra bills for tests while inpatient, no anesthesiolist bill if you get put to sleep for a procedure, all included in your copay.  $2250 of anual dental benefits, most dentists will file against it now, if yours doesn't just pay the bill and submit it and you will get refunded up to your plans limits.

Every time my family gets together the subject of health insureance comes up with everyone b!tching about theirs and I just smile andtell themthey have the wrong insurance.
