article--Obamacare rhetoric vs reality

The cost of employer-sponsored family health insurance premiums jumped again this year, but the rate at which they rose slowed to historic lows, according to a new survey Tuesday.
For insured workers, the cost of buying health insurance for a family of four increased 4% to $15,745 in 2012, according to a survey conducted by Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research & Educational Trust.

Health insurance premiums climb 4% in 2012 - Sep. 11, 2012

Those are the stats: 4%.

I'm sorry that your company's stats are so different (it's always possible that they are increasing YOUR share and that the total pie has increased by a lower amount).

All of this underscores the need for really comprehensive health care reform. Yes, a baby step was the best we could do in 2009....we have more we need to do.

Mine's gone up 8.9%. Fortunately, my employer's contribution is going up 9.5%.

This is actually pretty much how it works year over year, except a couple of years ago when it went down slightly (I was shocked, shocked, I tell you!).
