Yeah mine went up by a lot too. The state’s justification is basically, “we’re processing more claims so we have to pass it along to businesses.”
Never mind that the last time I laid someone off was in 2008 and since then I’ve hired 2 people. By the state’s rationale I should be getting a reduction in rates, dammit.
But I think private companies would raise our rates annually regardless. My company health insurance goes up 11-14% a year even though on the whole we’re a very healthy and low maintenance group.
