Company made $200m+ net profit in 2021 and is now making employees pay for health insurance

I'm going to preface this by saying I do enjoy my job and my coworkers, and my employer does seem to try to care about employees. That being said, it's open enrollment right now. I just logged in to look at my benefits elections and was rather shocked to find that the base health insurance plan, previously 100% employer paid, is now $42/paycheck. The plan has gotten better ($1,500 deductible vs $3k, lower co-pays, etc.), but the previous plan was perfect for me. I don't want a better plan, I want a free plan. What pisses me off most, though, is that the employer contribution is going down by $25.05/paycheck. So they're saving money while I'm losing money. If they had kept their contribution the same and increased mine to cover the difference, I wouldn't be complaining. But this sucks. Last month they gave us a 5% Cost of Living…

Last month they gave us a 5% Cost of Living Adjustment and this month they're increasing our cost of living. This from a company that prides itself on being one of the top 5 Best Places to Work in 2022, according to Glassdoor.

I just needed a place to rant.
