re: #352 Aceofwhat?

And again, I don’t know a single other person who hasn’t seen their rates rice precipitously over the past decade. Hell, longer than the past decade.

ahrq.gov

The average annual health insurance premium in 2000 was $2,655 for single coverage and $6,772 for family coverage in private-sector establishments, an increase of 33.3 percent and 36.7 percent respectively since 1996, according to new data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Establishments are either businesses in a single location or individual worksites of a larger corporation.

That’s 1996 to 2000— average 30% rate increase.
