Blue Shield is raising mine 12% through Covered CA. Currently I am too ill to continue teaching and was too young to retire with health benefits so right now 30% of my income goes towards my health insur and another 10% for expensive meds for my two pre-existing conditions. Now it will be about 50% of my income. That sure seems reasonable. Good thing one of my illnesses will kill be sooner or later since I can't afford to be sick and live at the same time.
