Employees are paying more – much more – for health insurance. While wages have been stagnant over the past decade, the amount that workers pay for health insurance has more than doubled. This shift has led to the rise of high-deductible health plans, with 16 percent of companies offering these as the only option for employees, and another 41 percent planning to make it the only option in the next three to five years.

MMMM global warming caused or Obamacare?

Hum, I'm sure Clownhicker and Elkin, with their degrees in science, can help answer that.

Remove the cost control known as 'pre-existing conditions" from medical insurance.....

What could possibly go wrong?

Administrative costs of healthcare insurance has sky rocketed under Obamacare. Could it be due to the tons of new bureaucrats and added public workers added? Anything, anything, the government gets involved in costs more, much more because there is no such thing as having to produce to keep a job, they get more "free" money if they need (want) it. Is there any question why the costs of medical insurance costs have gone up 134%?

Next year, Social Security retirement benefit recipients will get no COLA.

That's because the CPI doesn't accurately measure inflation, and the particular variant of CPI used doesn't accurately measure inflation for retirees.

A big cost for elderly folks is health premiums.

This is a shame, but what can the average citizen do about it?

My health stocks are up 7 percent year to date, but it is cold comfort inasmuch as so many Americans are being screwed by Obamacare.

Since Obama was in office health care costs averaged around 5% annual growth. That would be around 60% over the same time frame. So how does that equate to 134% over 10 years???

According to fact check the number is much lower...

Imagine being proud of a 60% increase in health insurance coverage? Obama said he planned would reduce health care insurance by 40% NLT 2015. Well he got his way and we all see the results. Not only have rates sky rocketed deductibles have more than doubled and in some cases over 300 percent.

Then a libtard finds some stats that show it's only 60% higher and feel that's proof Obama kept his word.
