Health insurance companies must have known 10 years ago that Obama was going to quit his job as an organizer of the black panthers, lie about his birth, and do voodoo on his opponents en route to the white house.

Interested to see the chart from 2009 -2012.
Why over the last 2 years has my employer and my wife’s employer changed the coverage so that a working spouse cannot be covered under the others plan?? That little change now causes our family to have 2 separate deductibles and a much high overall health care cost. One for me and one for my wife. We ended up putting the kids on my plan.
A chart and graph can be spun anyway the maker wants, all I know is over the past 2 years my families total overall healthcare cost has increased exponentially.

B/C the companies know that you (and your wife) have the opportunity to get your respective coverage through their own employeer and feel that they shouldn't have to pay the family rate when the single rate is cheaper.

Companies frequently give you $ if you get coverage through a spouse's employment.

Good for the company, sucks for you.
