WASHINGTON -- Workers are paying 14 percent more for their employer-sponsored plans than they did last year as a bigger chunk of healthcare costs shifted from employers to employees, according to a new survey.

I don't need ABC News to tell me that sheet. 5 years ago I had full medical, dental, vision and life insurance for me and 4 dependents. And the cost was free and all I had to pay was $30 for a doctor visit and $7 for prescriptions. Now I have to pay $75 a month for a plan that has a $3000 deductible per person, $ 5000 for the family and pays for nothing.
In 15 years of my work history, I have absolutely never had dental or vision insurance. Nevertheless, I'm not surprised at all. The American worker is the working mule who gets treated like crap and soon will have no insurance. This country is becoming third world. Maybe it's time for a class civil war.

Wow, that's cheap. I pay $650 a month through my employer. And that doesn't include life insurance.
But people forget that. Too many feel that they are entitled to employer-paid healthcare (they are not) and balk about having to cover a percentage of the premium increases themselves. Never mind that their employer is likely paying a lot more for their coverage than they are to begin with.
