We have not changed our employees' health insurance coverage and not increased their required contributions. It is still entirely free for individuals and still only $129 per month for families.
Upping the deductible from $500 to $7K isn't changing coverage? Nevertheless, you can't argue the monthly premiums are too high.

Back in 2010 my family of five had premiums of $310 and a ‘catastrophic’ deductible of $5,000.

Now our deductible is $11,000 - and the premiums are $1280 a month!! These idiots are welcomed to the real world.

And I used to joke that “but at least now we get free birth control”! But I can’t even joke about that. My wife was prescribed some birth-control pills to treat a menopause thing - but they were something special, so we weren’t even covered for those!
