Except that it doesn’t seem to be true. Health insurance premiums have been rising for decades, almost (though not quite) as stubbornly reliable as an eastern sunrise. And it turns out that these increases actually slowed after the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010. That’s according to data collected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which tracks a range of topics around spending on health care in its Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. The survey tracks the health insurance offered by private firms big and small, and in all cases, the average rate of premium growth from the time the law passed in 2010 through 2015 was actually lower than from 2004 to 2010. And premium growth was lowest for firms with fewer than 50 employees.
Show how I am pandering to Trump? We are discussing Obama. I also blasted Bush, which you fail to mention. Too early to do anything on Trump as he has been in office for a relatively short time. GDP is improving, which is good but what happened in VA was awful. Too soon to tell.
Racist Idiot, do you deny this? Because employees who were considered part timers before had to be called full timers and that caused many businesses to lay off workers or even close shop. I was at a forum with 20 CEOs in the Boston area and ALL said this impacted them. You are a loser with no career path, B_L.
Beginning in 2014, large employers must track each
employee's monthly status as
full-
time (
defined under the ACA as an average of 30 hours per week, or at least 130 hours in a month) or part-
time, report each
employee's full-
time status to the IRS, and keep as part of their tax records the status of each
employee.
