Employers see health insurance costs jump 9%
 Source: MSNBC

Employers’ spending on health coverage for workers spiked abruptly this year, with the average cost of a family plan rising by 9 percent, triple the growth seen in 2010.

Family plan premiums hit $15,073 on average, while coverage for single employees grew 8 percent to $5,429, according to a survey released Tuesday by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research & Educational Trust. (KHN is an editorially-independent program of the foundation.)

How the **** is this not a major campaign issue? The Repukes will absolutely freak out if a dime of taxes are raised on the almighty small business owner...but they won't do a ******* thing regarding the government getting involved to lower these HUGE costs of healthcare. This is ****ing ridiculous.

ObamaCoup drives up costs almost 5 times the rate of inflation but the GOP is supposed to be hypocrites because we don't join in on the ObamaCoup party.

They seem to forget when 0bama was going around saying that health insurance premiums would drop by 3000% we were saying bullshit, they were too busy screaming, "RACIST!!!!11111", to heed our warnings.

13. You are going to see more businesses dropping employee coverage in the next 2 yrs
   
Mark my words that once the mandate is in place, you will see more and more businesses dropping coverage. Why should they continue to subsidize this extortion? Once everyone is forced to buy health insurance themselves in 2014, employers will have no incentive to keep offering it since everyone will have to buy it - enforced by federal law, and insurance companies will have to sell it to even the most high risk person.

Companies will save a bundle by not having to subsidize employee plans. PLUS they get out of the headache of managing their policies - they can cut their HR office in half from the time and labor savings of not managing those behemoths.

The fall-out is going to be very interesting once that happens. The government is going to end up picking up more and more of the health insurance tab (which the health insurance companies will milk/extort for as long and as much as they can) before the growing financial pressure forces Congress to react sooner or later. Either Congress then finally gets smart and enacts something like single payer and/or they eliminate the insurance middle man and adopt a Medicare-for-all scenario. Or worst case scenario, Obama's health care reforms are completely thrown out.

We told you retarded chimps this shit 2 ****in' years ago.

Didn't B. Heusein 0bama say that our premiums would go down 3000%?
Yes he did.
Didn't B. Heusein 0abma say that our employers would save so much we would all get raises?
Yes, he did.
Didn't B. Heusein 0bama say that his 0bamnation of a bill would bend the cost curve down?
Yes he did.
Didn't Nanzi Pelosi say that there would be 400,000 jobs immediately created after we found out what was in the bill (i.e. pass it without reading it)?
Yes she did.
Didn't the entire state of Nevada , 95% of San Francisco business, and 80% of union get waivers from 0bama HellCare?
Yes they did.
 
This was the biggest criminal act ever perpetuated on the American citizenry and all of those responsible should be in jail.

They still won't admit we are right though.

How much of that cost increase is comprised of adding adult children up to age 26 back on the insurance plans?

I would guess that's one of the smaller things involved, in general the only big medical expense this group pulls in is childbirth.  Except for the ones that end up on YouTube for almost killing themselves but not quite succeeding, of course.

More cognative dissonance from the DU crowd.  Next, they'll want to mandate prices for private insurers and then they'll wonder when private insurers drop half their customers.  Then they'll mandate that you can't drop customers, and insurers will go out of business...

Oh wait, that's already been enacted into law.  Nevermind.

I call bullshit on these numbers.

Sorry, but my family premiums are NOWHERE near this..............in California no less. They are actually less than the supposed single employee.
