Wait! Better yet Kaiser (No pun intended) thinks that the Mercer numbers touted by the USAToday article are wrong, "Jon Gabel, an economist who provides a study to the Kaiser Family Foundation, says the Mercer numbers seem low, although he agrees many employers did shift costs to workers. Without such changes, Gabel says, his figures show employers would have averaged a 17% increase this year. As it was, they saw about a 14% rise, according to his analysis."

Gotta love this system, eh?

Edit: Homophones. They sound the same, but are spelled diffrently and have different meanings.
Whoops.
