Reviving a zombie thread because it's health insurance enrollment time again.

New employer since the OP. Much bigger company. But guess what, my 2013 health insurance premiums went up again. $1,300 more than the same insurance for 2012. Not only that, out-of-pocket maximums and deductibles went up too.

And pre-tax FSA maximum contributions have been reduced. (What's that you say? Obama told us no tax increases for the middle class?) Well, we use our FSA so that decrease in the pre-tax contributions is basically a $400 tax increase on my family.

Since ObamaCare passed, my insurance premiums have gone up about $7,300. They rarely went up by much each year before that.

Luckily this time my employer is covering about 75% of the premium increase unlike the increases from 2010 to 11 and 2011 to 12 which hit me directly. We'll still get hit with the increased deductibles, etc.

So consider this a big THANK YOU Obama for lowering health care costs in our country! It's sure helping my family.

Can't wait until you are gone at the end of the year.
