GAO Testimony: Federal Employees Health Benefits Program Premiums Rise, but Rate of Growth Slowed
U.S. Government Accountability Office [GAO] 
May 21, 2007
15 pages. "Average health insurance premiums for plans participating in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) have risen each year since 1997.... Growth in FEHBP premiums recently slowed, from a peak of 12.9 percent for 2002 to 1.8 percent for 2007.... Projected increases in the cost and utilization of health care services and in the cost of prescription drugs accounted for most of the average annual FEHBP premium growth for 2000 through 2007. Absent other factors, these increases would have raised 2007 average premiums by 9 percent." [GAO-07-873T, published May 18, 2007, released May 18, 2007]
