the one year anniversary of the healthcare legislation

average price increase of my personal health, dental, and vision insurance, year over year:


along the figures lie, liars figure route, i could go:

it went up, on average, 39.39% a year every year under UU. and went down 4.74% under obama

but i can't, because in 2009 we switched getting insurance from the company i work for to the company my wife works for, which was cheaper (that's why we switched)

any way you slice it, it went up almost 29% over the last year, but it's gone up, on average, almost 28% a year over the past 10 years

each and every year, nothing has changed

Not to bust your balls or anything, but your employer (or your wife's) has changed, so not really an Apples to Oranges comparison... more like a Golden Apple to Granny Smith Apple comparison, but it does skew the results a bit.

Either way I agree with you, just need to keep external factors in mind.
