I thought a couple days ago you said mama was loaded! Problem solved! :-)
To quote Bill, “I feel your pain.” The change is painful, but how many deductibles/visits do you anticipate she will have over the year? If she only hits the office a couple of times it will be a relatively small actual increase. Seems as if the plan changed. While there are plenty of “crooked politicians” out there, I’m not sure the plan change can be attributed to them.

Is she 65? Couldn't she get Medicare?
Is everyone eligible for Medicare?
You are eligible for premium-free Part A if you are age 65 or older and you or your spouse worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years. You can get Part A at age 65 without having to pay premiums if: You are receiving retirement benefits from Social Security or the Railroad Retirement Board.

Sorry to hear this issue came up with your wife's benefits. Just goes to show you that you can't believe any thing your told, so always prepare as if you will never get anything. Get ready, but all private/public owned companies and government agency are going away from any type of benefits for employees. All the politicians say these types of pensions and benefits are not sustainable, except for them of course. Soon jobs are going to be nothing, but an hourly wage or a salary, no benefits what so ever. Hell they don't even match our 401k at work anymore.

Dad retired from a school system. He was on AETNA now he is on Humana. It suks, I have been dealing with his medical stuff when he had a severe stroke back in July.
My wife is in her 31st yr as a teacher. I hope she knows what she is getting once she leaves. My insurance will be thru TMRS. Not much better and worse than TRS. Sad to m=work so many yrs and still get the shaft on retirement insurance.
