Definitely feeling this during my company's health insurance renewal this year. I used to think that I had it pretty alright, but over the past few years, things have gotten worse and worse. This year, for our "gold" plan, which was sold as the equivalent of the previous year's "gold" plan, our insurance provider increased our monthly cost by approx $120/mo, and increased our deductible by $5,000, up to $15,000.

I used to be against single payer, but now I'm rooting for any politician that thinks they can pull it off. I'm willing to pay a bit more tax in exchange for no longer having the "best" health insurance plan that I can afford that, quite frankly, I am terrified to use. Health care costs in this country are completely out of control. We need to have the system burned down and rebooted.
