Don't worry about them, they always make their money.

Well the rates for group insurance are based on usage. If the usage (i.e. the amount paid by the insurer) increases then so do the premiums. The insurers are forthright with this. The usage costs for the year were $X and the premium next year is $X plus an amount for the insurer. There is nothing magic going on here.
