would not be first time he has lied.

Well about two weeks ago open enrollment started. Since I just started working there a few weeks ago I didn't bother looking into it. However one day I overheard some co-workers grumbling. Didn't you hear we aren't getting merit raises? Oh I responded and asked how did they know. Evidently our CEO crafted a letter in the open enrollment package. He said due to tough times and changes in " federal health care laws" there will be no raises but they were able to keep benefits flat.

Speaking of Maryland:

Maryland Offers Glimpse At Obamacare Insurance Math - Kaiser Health News

"In the latest preview of prices for Health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, Maryland’s dominant insurer says proposed premiums for new policies for individuals will rise by 25 percent on average next year. That’s lower than what some had predicted. Just three weeks ago, the insurer, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, had been looking at a proposed 50 percent increase. But the company revised that initial estimate, citing worries about affordability for consumers."

"Taking those factors into account, CareFirst premiums for individual plans could rise as high as 150 percent next year for healthy young men and decrease slightly for someone older and sicker, Burrell said."
