As the children started to file their taxes, I seen that my daughter had NOT been faraway from my medical health insurance coverage when it renewed in January. So final week I made the decision to clear that up.
As I defined to them that I had up to date my utility in October to have her eliminated as she then had protection along with her full time job. They acknowledged that I had carried out that…noticed the timestamp of the change in October, 2025.
Our new medical health insurance playing cards didn’t arrive til someday in February and I hadn’t actually paid consideration. It was solely after I pulled the tax docs that I seen she had not been eliminated.
In fact, regardless that I did every thing proper, they couldn’t reverse the protection 3 months. However have been capable of reverse it to the tip of February. Okay, superb, we are going to deal.
Then I get advised that our month-to-month premium, after eradicating my daughter, who by no means as soon as used the coverage will go from $132 per 30 days to $697 per 30 days. What?!?
Even the agent on the cellphone was befuddled. No clue as to why, no explantation. I received an e-mail confirming that new premium just a few days later.
At the moment, I logged on and cancelled my auto pay. And cancelled the renewal, our medical health insurance.
We’ll now not have protection as of three/31/2026.
