Subject: Re: Healthcare Costs Going Way Up,
"US health insurers are raising insurance premiums by the most in 15 years, adding to fears that American consumers are struggling under the weight of higher household expenditures."

Yup. I'm in NY state. My $600 monthly premium is going up to $700 starting next January. I was informed of this in a letter several months ago, but apparently the increase still has to be approved by NY. I'm retired and luckily I get a $7500 yearly allowance to cover premiums. So, it won't affect me much.
