Reply #95: Every year we face 5% increases

[mdmc]

this year we are facing a 35% increase.

My employer continues to stress that we need to do more to reduce our health care costs, because private insurance companies are going to loot consumers until it is illegal to do so.

I work in the mental health field. My agency and NAMI lobbied hard for health care reform. My agency and NAMI both supported this health insurance reform bill (affordable care act that makes our health care cost rise).

It was my company that informed us that our health care cost would be rising 30% more then it has risen every year before this..

Health insurance cost increases are profitable and legal. This is the only reason we are seeing these increases.
