Health 'Cost' Growth Is Down, or Not?
Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation Link to more items from this source
Mar. 5, 2014
"One reason people see health costs differently than experts do is that what they pay for health care has been steadily going up. They pay less attention to the fact that they are going up more slowly than before. For example, the average deductible five years ago in employer plans was $735 per person and by 2013 it had grown to $1,135. Premiums have been growing at historically low rates, but the average family premium in an employer plan in 2008 was $12,680 and in 2013 it was $16,351. Over that time the share of the premium paid by workers rose from $3,360 to $4,560."
