family of four paying (or your employer is paying) about $13,500/yr for health insurance. The Obama Administration is going to keep a lid on those premiums as follows:
The new rules will mandate that insurers post explanations of premium increases exceeding 10% on their websites and submit them to state and federal regulators, who will also post them, starting later this year.
Meaning, from my odd point of view, they just gave these companies carte blanche to raise premiums unchallenged by 9.99% every year. With inflation running at 2%-3% and with compounding this gain starts adding up pretty fast. Not too far down the line and $20,000/yr will be the norm:hmm::hmm::hmm:
