I think you’re providing the anecdote, but in reality, premiums are rising, deductibles are increasing, and physician networks are tightening.

I gather you don’t buy your own health insurance?
Rates have been rising by 11-12% per year for us for a long, long time. Oh. Until last year, when the increase was more like 7%. This year? Just under 4% and some of the co-pays have dropped. It’s an HMO, so there are virtually no deductibles.
No change in physician networks.
