Cost of Health Insurance

10 10 2009 Autor: Administrator

According to the survey conducted by Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research Educational Trust, the premiums for employer- sponsored health insurance are rapidly increasing. The employers are left with no choice but to pass the higher costs to the employees. They do this by increasing the employee’s premium which actually increased already by 49 percent. Another way that the companies do is by raising the deductibles of the employees. Four in every five employees are required to pay a deductible before their health plans. By increasing drug co- payments, the employer can also pass the high cost of the employee’s premium. Another way is by changing the out- of- pocket limits.
