"$23,215. That's how much is spent in 2014 on healthcare for a typical American family of four covered by an average employer-sponsored health plan ... And yet while the amount has more than doubled over the past 10 years, growing from $11,192 to $23,215, the 5.4% growth rate from 2013 to 2014 is the lowest annual change since the MMI was first calculated in 2002. Employers pay the largest portion of healthcare costs, contributing $13,520 per year, or 58% of the total. However, increasing proportions of costs have been shifted to employees."

"As expected, declining discount rates in 2011 (including a historic year-end low of 4.80%) drove the pensions of the Milliman 100 companies to a record year-end 2011 funding deficit of $326.8 billion -- a $94.7 billion increase over the year-end 2010 funding deficit of $232.1 billion. It is the largest deficit in the 12-year history of the Milliman Pension Funding Study."

The 2011 MMI cost is ... 7.3% over 2010. Even though the rate of increase is slowing from prior years, it has taken fewer than nine years for such costs to more than double. In 2002, the cost of healthcare for the typical family of four was $9,235.

"The challenge to Milliman's hedging strategy is yet another in a growing list of breach-of-fiduciary duty performance cases filed by the trial bar challenging conservative investment strategies as imprudent.... If allowed to continue, plan fiduciaries will be forced to offer higher risk, aggressive investment strategies to avoid fiduciary litigation and liability -- a perverse incentive that is not consistent with ERISA fiduciary law under which preservation of investment capital is a legitimate investment goal." [Mattson v. Milliman, No. 22-0037 (W.D. Wash. Jun. 17, 2024)]

Healthcare costs for the average person increased 6.7% from 2023 to 2024.... Pharmacy is the primary driver of the change in MMI healthcare costs, increasing 13% from 2023 to 2024 and contributing to nearly half of the total year-over year change in cost."
