Being not bright in one area of your life tends to equate with being a failure in other areas.

(31,319 posts)(which is secondary to my Medicare) was raised TWICE from December to February, for a total of 9%.
The supplemental policy is part of a CSA pension (Federal civil service) which came to me as the beneficiary when my husband died. In December, I was notified of the 5.9% COLA increase--just like Social Security-- with an accompanying premium increase for the BCBS policy. Great. Got it direct deposit Jan 1. I looked at my checking account on line two days ago and the direct deposit amount Feb 1 was LESS! WTF?? Looked up the CSA account online, and sure enough, the BCBS premium had been hiked for a second time in two months.
I have been collecting this CSA benefit since January 2019 and never seen the health care premium increased like that twice in two months. It has to be related to the cost of treating all these unvaccinated, hospitalized COVID patients.

(14,784 posts)in CA, according to today's viewing of the state Covid website (data is from 2-3 weeks ago for the first two, 3-4 for the latter), is 7.5X, 15X, 30X higher.
Thirty times higher risk of death! It is so fucking stupid and self-destructive to be willfully unvaccinated.

My wife, a compassionate social worker, has had it with them. Her mom is 94, and has needed brief hospitalizations in recent years. If she were to be denied care in lieu of some 45 year old anti-vaxxer with Covid19, she says she would have no qualms about sending the anti-vaxxer home.
