We can tell what "news" channel you watch.
"The pace of growth in family premiums reflects a significant acceleration from the 3 percent growth seen in 2010 but is still slower than the double-digit growth seen in the early 2000's."
...
"However, Drew Altman, President and CEO of the Kaiser Foundation, said that the health reform law had only a modest impact on premiums in 2011, noting that most of the law's provisions don't go into effect until 2014."

Nah man. I had just myself on it and it when I started the policy 5 years ago it was $500 a month. Before I added my daughter with her pre-existing condition 1 year ago it was $750 just for me. I think it went from 650 to 750 in one year. When I added her I got the family plan which brought it down a lot but because of her condition they charge 150% of the normal premium she would pay if no condition. So yes most of the increase was from 2 years ago to 1 year ago. I have bcbs.
