So per employee, I pay $16000 per year, it's now increasing to $21000 per year. 36% increase. I am sending this notice to our local newspaper - unbelievable. I can tell you that Blue cross hasn't increased my revenues by 36%, infact it's lowered it by 3%. And Republican's Congress supports this industry and belives "they are the solution holders." Please - IBX is doing the same in Oregon.<br/>http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/oregonian/index.ssf?/base/news/121496911832190.xml&coll=7&thispage=2 In case anyone noticed, my office got an otice from our health insurnace provider (Independence blue Cross of PA/Highmark) that it is raising rates 37% on monthly premiums.
