Every time my husband gets a raise it goes to the increase in price for health care. Our health care went up 31% this year.
Yep and that 2-4% pay raise doesn't even come close to covering it. My company actually has an HSA now and contributes $1500 to it while I contribute the other $1500 to get to my deductible. Its worked ok so far plus we get a physical test each year and get a discount for being physically fit and healthy. Add the cost of energy and regular Joe's get further and further behind each year.
