Almost all of my friends work for various companies. Some big, some small. Of those I have talked to about this about half of them have seen no increase at all and the other half has seen some, but not enough that it was a big deal. I'm sure some companies are passing more onto the employees than others.
I still think, as of today, the people that feel the hit the most are those who are either self-employed or they are buying insurance themselves and don't qualify for many subsidies.
That will change. Costs will continue to rise every year until it gets to the point where something major is going to have to happen.
