Recent premium increase for United Healthcare coverages

[jphorenci]

I am absolutely appalled at the just announced price increases for United Healthcare coverage. The increase in RX (over 90%) announced during the last open enrollment was enough force me to make a change and now the supplemental health coverage increase (22%) is astounding. As their primary selling agent, you should anticipate my changing to another, more affordable carrier at my first opportunity and hopefully a boatload of others doing the same. Shameful, unjustified, heartless, and ridiculous. Shame on both you and United Healthcare.

Oh please. Your response is nonsense. I replaced United Healthcare/AARP RX coverage with a competitor's offer and got significantly better coverage for 1/4 the monthly premium. Yes I said 1/4 the United Healthcare premium. Plus, deductibles and copays are also 90% lower than they were with United Healthcare. One reason is the tier classification of our drugs are now much more favorable than UH. Your excuse is a joke. Maybe you should check the marketplace like I did to see for yourself. Just considering the RX plan, my wife and I are now saving well over $1,500 a year on identical medications.

I noticed the increase when I added up the newly split premiums - and I searched to see anything about a rate increase - and found this thread.

I don't recall getting any type of notification of a rate increase.  I would think that a notification should have been sent out.  Not happy.
