Yup. HealthCare Premiums WILL Go Up, Soon

Healthcare premiums have been rising at about 7%/annum for the last several years in Wisconsin.

That will continue, and likely the number will be even higher.

Will insurance premiums go up?

The answer is yes, and some of the things that will drive those premiums are significant additional taxes the industry will ultimately have to pay in the first year. --Ron Williams, CEO/Aetna

What? You expected that the insurers would simply take the Zyklon gas and die?

    I expect a 20% health insurance increase for the 2011 calendar year.

    Dad,On a personal note, I am scared of the premium upsurge. I could retire at any time but may not have enough saved for the insurance premiums if they go way up.
