Costs for healthcare keep rising for those lucky enough to have employer provided care. For those not that lucky, it becomes even more expensive. For those unable to afford care, it becomes even more out of reach.
When will the party of "no" come up with something relevant or at least quit being an impediment to reform? When will republiklans quit putting politics ahead of the American people and actually try to help solve some of our problems? http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/Daily-Reports... USA Today: "An average family health insurance policy now costs more than some compact cars, and four in 10 companies will likely pass more of that expense on to workers." The increasing costs "underscore warnings by President Obama about the growing cost of health insurance and were embraced by Democratic lawmakers who are pushing for legislation to change the nation's health care system Washington Post: Forty percent of employers surveyed said they are likely to increase the amount their workers pay out of pocket for doctor visits. Almost as many said they are likely to raise annual deductibles and the amount workers pay for prescription drugs. Nine percent said they plan to tighten eligibility for health benefits; 8 percent said they plan to drop coverage entirely. Forty-one percent of employers said they are 'somewhat' or 'very' likely to increase the amount employees pay in premiums -- though that would not necessarily mean employees would pay a higher percentage of the premiums. Employers could simply be passing along the same share of the overall increase that they are doing this year |
