Insurance Changes

["W"]

Just got a email from our Houston office about our Insurance changes in 2010. Over the last 5 years our insurance premiums have gone up over 30% but our copy has took the lick and keep our rates the same! This year alone our premium has gone up 9.3% or 2.2 Million dollars! Which at this time they had to make a change to our benefits with was not much! I was wondering how many other company's are taking a lick on health care next year?

Over the past 3 years our insurance has went up on the average 5-10 per pay period. However, my overall coverage has not dropped or changed. I have not seen nothing as of yet from my HR group but I am sure it will increase. For example, last year mine went up (status married with 2 kids) from $ 137 to $151 which was the highest increase. I pay bi-weekly.
