Higher Health Premiums Await Workers, Survey Says
August 20. 2010

A survey of big employers finds they expect their health care costs to rise nearly 9 percent next year and plan to share some of that burden with employees via higher premiums and higher out-of-pocket limits.


The survey included responses from 72 members of the nonprofit National Business Group on Health, which represents large companies such as General Electric, Microsoft and General Motors.
