American workers are about to pay more for the health coverage they get through their jobs. The Wall Street Journal reports that costs could rise 11.1% in 2027, which would be the steepest increase in more than 20 years.
Every other forecast published this summer is lower, but they all point the same way. The consultancy Aon expects a 9.5% rise. Segal, another benefits firm, puts it at 9.9%. Employers themselves predict 10%.
