For the second time in 3 years, I’ve received a letter on the increase in cost of insurance for my ILP’s medical plan. The quantum of increase is rather steep at 35%! This has resulted in increases to my monthly premium.

From what I gather, this will likely continue happening every 3 years or so. The future quantum of increase might well be higher than 35% as the good risks depart the medical plan and the bad risks (with substandard health resulting in high claims) remain.

What’s the best way to deal with this issue? It seems like the sustainability projections at the start of the policy are a joke and wholly useless as in just a few short years, there have been multiple repricing exercises and the premiums have been increasing.
