Forbes: Amazing stat on rising health costs

I found this statistic amazing:

"In a separate letter, Reps. John Dingell and Sander Levin, both Michigan Democrats, asked the chief executive of the state's Blue Cross affiliate to provide details about the company's recently approved premium hikes and its top executives' pay. According to the congressmen, employer-sponsored health insurance premiums in Michigan rose 78.2% from 2000-07; wages in the state rose by just 4.6%."

Inquiring minds want to know why!
