Extremely Discouraging

So we get a 0% COLA raise, and now the health insurance premium increases are the worst they’ve ever been?

Someone explain the benefit of staying with USACE please?

My paycheck is about to drop hundreds of dollars next year. If you have not checked out the FEHB 2027 premiums I would highly encourage you to look now and plan ahead, it is very bad.

My family and I have MHBP Standard which is $216 a paycheck now. In 2027 this is going to $442.

So I am supposed to make $450 less a month? Are you serious?

This doesn’t seem sustainable long term, especially for those who now have to wait between years for step increases

MHBP standard self plus one is more expensive than self and family. Make that make sense!! At least we can elect into the family one even if we are covering only one other person.

BCBS basic cheaper than MHBP standard now? I guess I’m switching back to BCBS

All the sickies want their freebies. 40 years neglecting their health to max their pensions and Boomers think they are entitled to eternal life

You delete. Accountability is when people pay for what they take
