We are lucky enough to have insurance thru our employer. However, last year during the enrollment period we discovered that our premiums went up 113 percent. Yes, it more than doubled as our employer was gearing up for obamacare. The co-pays also increased. We decided to go with a different plan that only increased our premium by 80 percent.

Obamacare is squeezing folks just like us who are solidly in the middle class.
