10. Same here, my insurance is through my union.

The retirement/healthcare rep has gotten involved and it looks like things might get resolved soon. During our conversation we were talking about people who have private insurance and how lucky we were to have a union that can go to bat for us.

When I turn 65 I can sign up for medicare part B and combine that with my union plan. Then my health insurance coverage will be basically free. The monthly premiums are high, but manageable, but at least I will not have to worry about any bills. The monthly premiums are worth that peace of mind.
