I dont know you want to hear.
Average employee premium contributions have more doubled in the last 10 years.
As a percentate of total contributions, they have not increased as much as overall premium cost as a result of employers limiting increases on the employee side by reducing beneifts instead.
I dont know any other way to say it.

I'll try again.
Employee share has been relatively contained by employers finding benefit reductions on the other side...even as employee premiums costs doubled in that 10 years.
Average employees are paying a helluva lot more for their insurance (higher premiums, higher co-pays, higher deductables,...) than 10 years ago.
