Particularly interesting was this line:

"Average health care premiums are forecast to jump by 6.3 percent in 2013, according to Aon Hewitt"

So much for the "Affordable" in the formal name of ObamaCare: The "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act"

Also found out that the government lowered the allowable balance able to be saved in a HSA (Healthcare Savings Account). This was stressed by our benefits department as coming from the government, not the company.

Gee, thanks - so I'm now not allowed to save as much for the purpose of paying health care costs, and must rely more on insurance. So much for the "Protection" part of the PPACA title cited above.

My insurance also went up before the Affordable Care Act. What about insurance companies kicking you off insurance when you get sick causing you to lose everything you have do you not like?? I know you don't like government getting into your business, unless they are getting into your business for something that you stand for..
