Premiums are going up for all. Many companies will eat some of the employee increase but shift a larger portion of the burden on additional family members to the employee.


I think it just depends on the benefits, what they provide and too whom. I know we got a what obamacare means to us webinar, and the end result was - "nothing" but we are a very large multinational that provides really good benefits.

The bigger problem it sets up is that it becomes more and more difficult for those on the lower income levels to climb to higher levels as the more they make, the less subsidies they get (but it's not a strict 1:1 ratio). With the way it's set up and the premium pricings, it's economically more feasible for a the parents in a family of 5 to work shitty p/t jobs and stay in the trailer park than it would be for one (or both) of them to get a college degree and start working at a middle-class level job.

You can't grow the middle class by constantly cutting it off at the knees.
