We have 3 kids ... ages 12, 9 and 3. Been at the same employer and same insurance company through all 3. Same Doctor ... same hospital ... even down to the same nursing staff.
It is amazing the difference in out of pocket expense between my oldest and my youngest. It is doubly amazing what the monthly premiums cost now compared to when my first born came along.
We actually opened our own health clinic on campus and now employees are encouraged to go there instead. We even have a no cost dispensary for most common medications. Visits and medicines are free to employees and their families all in an effort to cut what our insurance company is paying out each year and in hopes of keeping our insurance premiums from climbing even higher.

My Brother's individual Health Insurance premium went up last month. He called Anthem BCBS, and they told him the reason was due to Obamacare which he doesn't have. The nice lady told him that a great number of younger individuals opt to pay the fine rather than take the required insurance, so they had to increase his premium. I see this Obamacare thing only hurting our country and its Citizens. It won't end until his term is up and he is out-of-the-White house. IF another Democrat is in the White House then we'll see no changes but only worse things happening. As it stands now WE LOST OUR ECONOMY & COUNTRY....Due to things like Obamacare.
