<<The premiums for my health insurance aren't indexed to age>>

Oh come on. So you would be paying the same as a healthy 20 year old.And all your politicians are lying when they say the costs of premiums have doubled in the last 7 years... with inflation at around 2 percent?

That's interesting, because I posted here last year that when I turned 55 Blue Cross sent me a nice letter congratulating me and stating I was now in a 'new rating' classification, which came with a 20% rise in my monthly insurance bill. Others here have said that is pretty much 'standard procedure' with the insurance industry.
