I never stated the rates didn’t rise. I said they didn’t rise 30%,, ESPECIALLY not twice in several months

You said:

I’ve had the same ploicy for 10 years. Same coverage, same bennie, It hasn’t increased 30% in ALL TEN YEARS COMBINED

That doesn’t seem possible. I’m assuming you’re insured through your employer? You may not have noticed the rates going up, but you might have noticed wage increases not keeping pace with inflation, etc.
The cost of health care has risen all over in the last ten years. Dramatically. Freelancers and the self employed— all those individuals buying coverage, and not under the umbrella of group coverage— are just the ones that notice it most starkly.
