Seriously, consider yourself fortunate. Companies and Governments have been cutting back on costs that couldn't be sustained over the long haul. The cost of health care is outrageous---like Mom said----"0ur chickens have come home to roost."
Totally agree with your input above. We, too, are part of the generation which was promised "company paid health care for life" and, at the time that we were dropped there was no Obamacare safety net which is available to everyone now. $3,000 a year will buy two people an excellent health plan, just shop around - you will be fine.
