Payments for Cost Sharing Increasing Rapidly Over Time
Kaiser Family Foundation Link to more items from this source
Apr. 14, 2016

"From 2004 to 2014, the average payments by enrollees towards deductibles rose 256% from $99 to $353, and the average payments towards coinsurance rose 107%, from $117 to $242, while average payments for copays fell by 26%, from $206 to $152. Overall, patient cost-sharing rose by 77%, from an average of $422 in 2004 to $747 in 2014. During that period, average payments by health plans rose 58%, from $2,748 to $4,354. This reflects a modest decline in the average generosity of insurance -- large employer plans covered 86.7% of covered medical expenses on average in 2004, decreasing to 85.3% in 2014. Workers' wages, meanwhile, rose by 32% from 2004 to 2014."
