23% here...
Last year my daughter’s health insurance premium tripled. She is 26. She dropped it because she couldn’t afford it. So who is saving all this money because I sure don’t see it.
Yeah, mine’s going up about 20% (Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Massachusetts). It’s an effective 2.5% after-tax pay cut for me, and that’s before the expiration of the Bush tax cuts, which will probably take another 2-3% out of each paycheck. And unlike most of the sheeple, I know EXACTLY whose fault it is, and I’m not shy about proclaiming it to people...sadly, most of them still won’t listen.

In addition to the insurance premium increase, our docs are now part of a ‘boutique.’ Medical boutiques run an additional $1500/year!

You guys are looking at this wrong. That prescription you have to take once a day went from $120/bottle to $117.80/bottle. Now, did you, or did you not, save money on your medicine?
BTW, two months ago after they increased my premium yet again, my health insurance for my family is now more than my mortgage payment! (Which includes house insurance and taxes).
