Thanks to Obamacare, Health Premiums Now Cost More Than a New Car

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0911/64525.html#ixzz1ZA oETpQY

Premiums for employer-provided health insurance jumped 8-9 percent in 2011, passing $15,000 for family coverage — which is more than the cost of a Ford Fiesta.

That’s a big jump from the 3 percent increase in 2010. But it’s in line with historical increases that have averaged just over 10 percent per year since 2001, according to the annual Kaiser Family Foundation's Employer Health Benefits survey.

The Kaiser survey also found that 2.3 million young adults now have coverage under their parents’ policies — double the recent U.S. Census estimate of gains since the ACA allowed young adults to stay on their parents’ policies until age 26. Kaiser surveyed employers about the numbers of dependents they were now covering, while the Census counted the net increase of young adults who have coverage under age 26.

Critics have blamed rising insurance premiums on the 2010 health care law, but Kaiser Family Foundation president and CEO Drew Altman said that’s not the case.

Altman attributed most of the increase to rising health costs. The new legal requirements that expanded preventive care and added those young adults contributed to about 1.5 percent of the price increase.
