I did, in my very first response: health insurance premiums have gone up by 4% on average. So, if these right wingers like OP and are seeing 82%, I'm celebrating for the deserving getting it... because overall increases are lower than ever.

Well, those kids were not riding free before 18. What makes you think they are riding free at 24? Called the "Family Plan"

Cost of insurance has ALWAYS gone up when you added dependents. Is this the first time you've shopped for health insurance?

Overall increases for the OP are not lower than ever .You attack a person because his insurance rates went up.And we see what the problem in the country really is

I'm glad. People like you also deserve it. You want to save private corporations at the expense of your health care, here's your chance.

No, I'm pointing out that the OP is experiencing an increase that is 20 times more than the national average, and that such people deserve it. Its not government who he is paying the premiums to, is it?

Actually you can, as quite frankly many of ACA's costs were there, increasing the gap b/w the true charge you would incur and what was charged to account for uncompensated care. (Had they not gotten care, you'd have a valid point. But they do, and it isn't free.)

Insurers love the 20 somethings added, all of us should. We need more young, healthy folks taking insurance-it lowers average cost. Your employer would much prefer adding your 25 year old kid vs your 50 something spouse.
