Not sure about these huge premium increases mentioned.

My wife and I had BCBS of Illinois plan F and premiums DID increase with age. When we moved to The Villages 3 years ago we switched to BCBS of Florida ( Florida Blue) plan F and now the premiums DO NOT INCREASE WITH AGE but are subject to a general increase which would be the same for every one regardless of age. 2015 our premiums increased by $5.65. Yes that's right 5 dollars and 65 cents per month.
