yellojktHealth insurance premiums burst upwards.
Ack! The ACA! It does nothing! Nothing!
The average employer-sponsored, single-person health plan premium rose by 8 percent to $5,429 from 2010 to 2011. Meanwhile, the average cost of family coverage rose by 9 percent to $15,073. By contrast, inflation rose by just 3.2 percent, while wages increased just 2.1 percent, the foundation said.
“This year’s 9 percent increase in premiums is especially painful for workers and employers struggling through a weak recovery,” said Kaiser President and CEO Drew Altman.
Everywhere you look, it’s good news!
Sheesh.
