Usually in November we start getting emails from HR for us to review insurance and sign for new policies. Have you received your increase info yet? I’m expecting ours any time now.
We just finished our enrollment period. My company self-insures, so there is no “tooth fairy” to pay for our medical bills. It’s the company and the employees.
This year, not really bad at all. They did tell us that the “tax” we have to pay for Obamacare amounts to about $160/year per employee.
No drastic changes, no massive increases.
I am more worried for 2015 when the local big hospital “charity” is supposed to sever ties with the local big insurance carrier. Apparently the hospital company that runs its own insurance plans doesn’t like when the insurance company wants to run its own hospitals.
So they have refused to negotiate a new contract.
But, that’s local events. I think the worry for people like me is what happens a couple years down the road if companies start dumping employees onto the exchanges.
