How much are they going up? Ours went up by about 10%, which is fairly normal. In general , the rates will ALWAYS go up from year to year. (our pay hasn't gone up...) Here the big push is to get people onto the 'high deductible' plans. Next year I think that will be our only option. Some places that is all they offer for new employees. There IS a tax break for the company for this plan vs the traditional.
The ACA does change some things, they have to cover things and people that they didn't. This represents more risk in the pool paying in, so they raise rates to cover that. But the ACA is hugely complicated, so I could never even come close to saying what the issue is there, just throw out 'what ifs'.
