Employer-Sponsored Insurance Spending for Children's Health Care Rising Faster Than for Total Population
Health Care Cost Institute 
July 8, 2015
"Spending on health care for children (ages 0-18) covered by employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) grew an annual average of 5.7 percent per year between 2010 and 2013, compared to 3.9 percent for the total population (ages 0-64) with ESI ... Per capita spending on children reached $2,574 by 2013, a $391 increase from 2010. The rise in children's spending in 2013 occurred despite a drop in the use of prescription drugs and visits to the emergency room, demonstrating that rising health care prices were an important driver behind the spending increase. The report also showed growth in spending on children's inpatient services, which contributed to the overall increase in spending."
