- In real life, how much has your rent gone up by?
- In real life, how much have your medical premiums and co-pays increased?
- In real life, how much have your drug co-pays gone up?
<2%, 0%, and 0% respectively (annualized). You have to recognize that the inflation figures are a national average - of course there are a lot of people experiencing more inflation than that, just like there are a lot experiencing less.
