It's open enrollment season, so I checked how much my company insurance was going to jump this year. For the first time ever the increase is in line with inflation at about 2.5%. Every year for the past 12 it has increased 15 - 20 %

Thanks Obama!

Bi-weekly 2014 Simply Blue 40 2015 Simply Blue 40
Individual $132.78 $168.63 $69.88 $53.01
Family $335.04 $426.71 $194.77 $259.39

EPO Option K will have the following coverage:
• $25 co-pay for Office Visits for PCP and Specialist
• $500 Hospital co-pay per admission
• $50 ER Co-pay
• Eyewear Coverage $60/max every two years

My employer subsidized family plan, which is a very high deductible with a health savings account type of plan, has gone up 0% this year. That has never happened before since I started working here 23 years ago.

Thank you, Obama.

Higher paid people pay less for insurance, that is the American way.
