Another day, another study noting our skyrocketing health insurance premiums
This just in, The Affordable Care Act is unaffordable. Also, water is wet.
Health insurance premiums more than doubled over the last decade, driving employers to drop coverage and discouraging employees from signing up, according to a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation study released today.
Nearly 60 percent of private employers in New Jersey provided health coverage to their workforce in 2011 - a 4 percent decline from 2001, the study found.
Business owners who offered insurance required employees to shoulder a larger share of the cost. In 2011, workers paid $1,154 in premiums for an individual policy and $3,714 for a family - more than 2-1/2 and three times, respectively, than they paid a decade earlier.
If you like your insurance, you can keep your insurance! That is if you're
independently wealthy, or win the lottery. Otherwise, not so much.
