Open Enrollment

I got my packet today. My share of my health insurance premium is rising 30%. My deductible is up $100/year and my co-pays will increase in 2010, too. (May I just add that my borg is into Year Two of a salary freeze?)

This on a day when I jumped through hoops in an effort to get a (non-H1N1) flu shot. I managed to get the shot, but I paid more than three times as much for it as I had to. Now I've got to file an insurance claim. Let's see what they reimburse me.

By the way: I consider myself one of the lucky ones.

What are your experiences?
