Open enrollment
I assume everyone is either going through or coming up on their open enrollment period for health care in 2016. I just started going through mine, and noticed my medical, dental and vision increased $225.00 a month. I saw some mention of other increases embedded in other threads and was curious what the cross section of increases look like throughout our industry.

This is what happens when people want the government involved. Paying a lot more for the same or worse coverage. Rates have always gone up, but nothing like they have lately.
Several states have had large health care insurers collapse or get de certified putting hundreds of thousands out of insurance completely.
Thanks a lot to the fine folks who thought this was a good idea.

You can look this stuff up you know.
"The United States health care system is the most expensive in the world, but ..."the U.S. underperforms relative to other countries on most dimensions of performance. Among the 11 nations studied in this report—Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States—the U.S. ranks last, as it did in the 2010, 2007, 2006, and 2004.

Is there a place to find out what the company pays for our health insurance. I've heard somewhere they cover 2/3 of the cost but that may just be rumor.

You should probably check the last sentence of your first paragraph. If anyone's premiums are going up substantially it's a weakness in that groups collective bargaining agreement and it's just the company shifting more of the cost onto the employees even if the overall rates didn't increase that much or at all. At spirit the company can raise our premiums a max of 7% a year. Guess what they go up 7% each year and plan premiums overall (company+employee) have not increased that much
