What is crazy is that this is the slowest growth of rates in some time. I don't understand cases like yours, it makes me wonder what would be happening without the exchange. There is considerable information that insurers are just hyping shyt up and using Obamacare as an excuse.

:ohhh::patrice:

Mine stayed the same. We had to do some wellness program and stop smoking to get the same prices though.
I think my job pics up the extra charge as long as we pretend to be healthy

Thing is. I'm not sure the increases have anything to do with obamacare. My insurance has been increasing almost every year for almost 10 years now.

For my wife, self and 15 month old I pay 574 monthly for health and dental. It seems like when our yearly raise kicks in the premiums go up.

You can probably get a subsidized plan through Obama. Im not sure if 30k is too much for the subsidy but its worth a shot. I got my deviated septum fixed a few years ago and its gonna be more than one visit. Def need to have insurance for that.
