Read the stats.  Premiums for those getting insurance at work are rising slower than back in the day.  Part of the reason we passed healthcare reform.  It was time to slow the out of control rising costs of healthcare in the US.

This must be a joke. My premiums went up 50%, from 1600/mo to 2400/mo. That's 10k per yr post tax. It is killing me.

There are only 3 of us on this plan.

When study says employer based health insurance premiums rose an average of 3%, it doesn't mean each and every employer.  This is the average according to the annual survey.

Can't read it is behind a pay wall.

Trust me that is shill information.  Everyone knows what their premiums did.  They went up 40% here in the state of WA.  Our deductables went up to $10k.  Making the policy completely worthless.

Meanwhile non working layabout gets to go to doctor for free, gets a free ride in a shiny red and white ambulance, probably even turn the lights and sirens on for him.  

Tell me how that is fair dew?

Well that’s how you get you 3% average growth. Your 40% increase is offset by others getting a check to go to the Dr.

Dewey - explain this to me.  My CPA just finished my taxes.  I will state up front that I made a lot of money last year.

Having said that, I am being taxed $12,407 to help fund Obamacare.  That is a direct quote from my CPA.

In what world, other than a socialist society, are my hard-earned dollars confiscated from me to pay for a program with which I completely disagree?

Thanks Mike.  I realize that I am Blessed and I am grateful.  More importantly, I understand the need to pay my fair share of taxes.

But the idea that I have to pay over $12K for Obamacare subsidization angers me as much as if it had been identified for Planned Parenthood or the PLO.

totally agree. just so folks who don't feel like working can get a plan for free.

my premiums this year are $2600/mo, plus more increased deductibles for meds and services.  thankfully for me, our company is FINALLY moving to an employee sponsored plan, so that should bring me back to reality.

though not a tax per se, my premiums are in effect a tax also, so others can freeload.
