Letter: Special interests in health care

Having spent almost 30 years in the insurance business, I have been following the discussions on health reform with interest. One thing is clear, there is good information and a lot of bad information. One reliable source is the Kaiser Family Foundation which recently completed its annual survey of employer health coverage and costs. They found that the average nationwide cost of a family policy in 2009 is $13,375. The study projects that in 10 years it will be $30,803! These numbers indicate why more employers are dropping coverage entirely or offering scaled-down plans as well as why wage increases for workers have been stagnant since 2000. It also represents a critical drag on the economy which no amount of stimulus will correct.
