They say employees could see even higher costs in their plans come open enrollment for 2011. I just got the notice this morning from my HR department. They say that company contribution as a percentage of cost will remain constant (the company is subsidizing 90% for employee-only coverage). However, the actual rate is increasing 12%, so the employee contribution is also increasing 12%. The notice explicitly stated that the increase in cost is due to expanded coverage as required by the Affordable Care Act.
