How much have your insurance premiums gone up this year?

We've had our annual open enrollment benefits meeting to learn about changes next fiscal year and our premiums are increasing 22%. Last year we incurred a 12% increase. I'm all about free enterprise, but this is ridiculous. It's getting to the point where these premiums are becoming completely unaffordable for the working middle class. At some point this bubble has to burst and collapse right? Premiums can't keep rising at these rates indefinitely.

High five to good employers.

Mine went up 100% last year, so I dropped out, and into the high deductible plan.
Open enrollment hasn't started yet for me this year, but I assume I'll stay in the high deductible.

well, since insurance is regulated by the government and premiums are directly affected by the claims that your insurance pays each year, it looks like what we are really looking for is some way to reduce health care costs.
the past two presidents have been elected based on the promise to fix the health care system and neither has come close to accomplishing that.

Premiums didn't go up--that's because the premiums went to $-0-: Insurance company discontinued the plan I had so I'll be looking for new coverage. 
Last year my agent said my grandfathered non-ACA compliant policy was about 1/3 less than compliant policies. I dread seeing what my premium increase will be.
The silver lining is my new policy will cover ovarian cancer, which since I'm male, will be very beneficial--NOT.

You can keep your doctor.
Rates won't rise.
