Wages vs. Premiums: Anyone who buys their own health insurance won't be surprised to hear that premiums rose this year. But isn't this self-evident?
The increase, tracked in a survey released yesterday by the Kaiser Family Foundation Health Research and Educational Trust, was lower than the 13.9 percent increase in 2003 but five times higher than the average increase in wages.
Where do they think the money for those premiums come from? They come from the wages of workers, or at least from money that would be used to give them raises if it weren't being used for their health insurance premiums. posted by Sydney on
