Coming Our Way!

Get ready! Recent headline from the Denver Post:

"Health Plans' Tab to Soar."

Stats from the story (premium increases from employers to cover additional health care costs):

60% - Increase employee premium for family coverage.
57% - Increase employee premium for individual coverage.
50% - Increase deductibles.
29% - Increase employee maximum out-of-pocket expenses.

Be prepared now for more of your income going to copays and out-of-pockets.

The above links are for articles from both sides of the issue.
As well as not wanting to be completely biased towards one side.. :p
I believe that knowledge is power and regardless of your stance, you should be aware of the opposing side and why you beleive as you do.

If anyone knows of any other great or helpful sites - please let me know!
