86% increase for me! Luckily, my employer changed insurers, and he still picks up the bulk of my bill each month.
However, that impacts us all at work - raises may not be forthcoming this season, and I have been ham-strung on staffing/payroll for the past 5 years.
Maddening!
Thanks to Obamacare, my health insurance rates were SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED.
The Federal Government is an entity that makes a mistake, and then repeats it over and over again until it becomes THE LAW OF THE LAND.
My county shows a decrease.
That said, the chart is showing the increase/decrease “on individuals who do not get health insurance through their employers, or through government programs like Medicaid or Medicare.”
Be interesting to see the chart of people who get health insurance through their employer and see what their rates look like.
This chart is helpful, but it only reflects Premium changes.
Here in NY, our premiums may be lower, but our personal out-of-pocket and co-pay amounts have increased by thousands.
My family’s overall payments have increased by about 75%, but we combat that by not going to scheduled medical appointments and skimping on prescriptions.
It is clear by now to anyone who pays attention that ObamaCare will bring us three things: 1)Few, if any, of the promised benefits, 2)Higher costs when it is fully implemented (we’re just starting to see the cost effects), and 3) Lower level of healthcare. I guess there is a fourth: 4) The DC ruling class will not be stuck in this pig like the commoners.
