Here, straight from the horse's mouth: I've yet to even pay this month's premium because it went up close to $200 more each month and I need to wait for the next paycheck to pay for it.

EDIT: And I'm a (relatively) young non-smoker with just me covered under my policy. I've heard some family policies going up $1,000+ each month.
