My husband had the same problem with Mutual of Omaha Plan F. They started him out at around $160 when he turned 65, then proceeded to raise the premium every six months "due to age." When it went up over $230 two years later, we said the heck with this and went shopping. Got AARP Plan F for him and back down under $200, plus no automatic raises due to age.

I have had Priority Health Plan F (brought down from MI; not available in FL) for three years and only been raised a few dollars.
