I am livid because they keep changing the terms and raising the prices for Individuals. Within just 18 months they have had a policy change and a price hike. Even with a high deductible, no pre-existing conditions and with not one visit for preventative care I feel that the Kaiser model is a joke. Double digit increases in a deflationary economy? Who doer Kaiser thinks it is, Congress? I just had a major increase of 23% “because of my age change” per Kaiser.
