That could well be true. When I was working, the health insurance for my husband and myself (through my job) cost the company $24,000 a year by the time I reached age 60. I did the accounting so I know that's true. That was with co-pays and deductibles (although I can't remember how much). Insurance will always go up as one ages, and each 10-year mark seems to give it an extra bounce. The Republicans have just made everything much worse and if you think $20K per year is bad, wait a while and see what happens.
