Drug Plan on Double secret probation, you can chan

Monday,  November  23,  2026

Medicare: If you purchased the Cigna Saver Prescription drug plan in the last 2-years or so, you may have discovered Cigna is now Healthspring and your monthly premium went from $15.70 to $65.70 if you did not change your Part D Prescription Drug Plan (PDP) last fall. The OP-F broker did not notify. Please remember to look at your drug plan every year as OP-F allows alight to steer you away from all your options to extort your business for the stipend. In 2026 there are 10ea Part D plans available, OP-F allowed alight to ban four of those plans. One is a ZERO dollar plan.
THE GOOD NEWS: (short version) Healthspring is on double secret probation as a 2.5 star plan so, you can move your drug plan anytime in 2026 to the Wellcare Saver $7.60 (3-star) plan. If alight/AON is your agent of record, sold you the plan, contact them and tell them you would like to use the star-rating and enroll in another plan (3-star or better) if appropriate for you. We have made the alight change and it does work, you may need to ask for an alight supervisor.
 


ACA Marketplace update: 17FEB

Tuesday,  December  1,  2026

ACA Marketplace, like many of us our premiums have doubled waiting on Congress to do their job. The government shut-down last fall was over extending market place benefits.
Currently the House has approved a 3-year extension. The senate has not moved on anything as we look at another shut-down. In the meantime 1.2 million souls have flat out lost health care as their premiums have jump from the $800s to over $1650/month for crappy HMO insurance. From what I have read our own Freshman senator: Senator Moreno appears to have put himself in charge of the process. Emails from him are the standard "I want to hear from constituents", not responding to my emails. Our other Senator: Jon Husted was not elected by the people, he was placed in JD Vance's seat by Dewine after JD went to Washington. Senator Husted seat is up for election during mid-terms this fall. They can be contacted:

Bernie Moreno: 202-224-2315 or https://www.moreno.senate.gov/contact/
Jon Husted: 202-224-3353 or https://www.husted.senate.gov/contact/contact-jon/

Please remember the Ohio Police and Fire Pension as well as Ohio Public Employees System have brought this down on us. The pensions are the problem.

Stay safe and look out for one another... no one else will.
