[QUOTE="pretzel_man, post: 786270, member: 927"] All it takes is a quick search to see that health care cost increases are not a UPS issue. Its a nationwide issue. According to CBS News: "premiums continue to rise sharply. Since 1999, they have increased 131 percent" According to a study by Kaiser: "Health care costs have been rising for several years. Expenditures in the United States on health care surpassed $2.3 trillion in 2008, more than three times the $714 billion spent in 1990, and over eight times the $253 billion spent in 1980. Stemming this growth has become a major policy priority, as the government, employers, and consumers increasingly struggle to keep up with health care costs. " To blame this on companies "jumping on the bandwagon" is not reasonable. It would be nice if it was as easy as "demand that insurers stop raising rates ". [/QUOTE]
