That was a misleading notice. Mentioned that we can finally get Selt+1 on FEHB just like on FEDDENT. But premium for Family, what we needed to cover spouse is going up $100. New Self+1 is cheaper, but still much more then this year.

And Medicare B goes up but private sector won't have to pay, but CSRS will. Not yet on Medicare, but not giving up FEHB BCBS.
