6.1% and 7.7% increases - "Lies, damn lies and statistics"(3 types of lies-Disraeli) My premiums have gone up over 25% each of the last 2 years and 170% over 5. My family rate for health only is $18,000 a year. unless something is done only the very wealthy will have health insurance. The options that were presented to me was cost shifting there is nothing else. All this BS about shopping doctors and making the user aware of the cost will not work. Single payer universal health paid by a value added tax for basic coverage similar to Medicare is probably the only alternative at this time.
