You can still find group coverage and even form your own group.
Was your price fair? Actuarialy, yes. Groups spread the cost when you
have members of different ages.

Ands we don't know what the covered group was. If retirees were getting
something from an employer, for instance, it is also possible tht the
$1900 cost was the same, but the employer was picking up the difference.
