Note that the y axis is rate of increase.

Simple. Healthcare costs have risen exponentially and lawsuits against the medical industry have grown exponentially, thereby causing more rising costs. Insurance companies are here to make money, and MANY healthcare plans for retirees are just not sustainable at previous premiums, especially with pre-existing conditions.
I still can't imagine that with the previous TRS healthcare plan, participants paid copays BEFORE they reached the deductible? That may be correct, but that just doesn't seem to correlate to most insurance policies I have had...but I am not familiar with TRS insurance.Last edited by Burnadell; 02-12-2019, 10:32 AM.

I was shocked too when I looked at the trs insurance for retirement. Was thinking of retirement soon but I don’t know now. That is ridiculous to have to meet your deductible before the insurance kicks in. Wow what a slap in the face trs. The plan I have now is pretty decent. But that will change if I choose to retire.

Originally posted by coy-ote View PostWish politicians would be put on medical/ pension plans like the ones that are good enough for us all. Most are wealthy but it has always made me wonder why they get vested into a pension after only a few years of service, I’d say give our vets that same pension/medical package .
