Well, to my surprise the high deductible premium (what I have now) has the same premium per pay period. The max out of pocket went up however. This year the max out of pocket for a family is 6150$. Next year .... 8000$.
The "Cadillac" plan we offer (which also had a deductible of 1500$ for a family) is going up 20%. Not sure what the max out of pocket is, but it went up as well.
Our HR director (used to be the HR director for Toyota) sent us a memo saying the are basically going to raise premiums annually on the "Cadillac" plan until everyone goes to the high deductible plan. Those weren't the exact words but that's what it meant.
Most important note is that this is NOT the end of the insurance "adjustments". He clearly said they still have no idea what effect "Obama care" (he actually said Obama care and not ACA) will have on our benefits.
So what we thought would be a one time "oh shit, they're fucking us!" Turns out to be a slow deliberate raping of our net pay.
Can't wait for next year!
