Nov 2017

11/24 Update - I got a snail mail letter this afternoon with my new premium (a 3.75% increase, so not a shocker that would force me scrambling looking for alternatives with only 11 days left in the 53-day open enrollment period). The letter is dated November 11 (grrr, can't you mail out the letter sooner, grr grr grr). I checked my account online -- no information about this, so not only couldn't they be bothered with an email notification, they can't be bothered to put information like this as an account notice/message. Shitheads.
