Employer-sponsored insurance covers approximately 157 million people. A total of 90% of workers are employed by a firm that offers health insurance benefits. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports health insurance has increased by more than 10% from 2018-2019, while health care cost increases remained in line with inflation, at less than 2%. Why is the spread so large when there is neither supply or demand pressure? Consider this... In two years, CEO pay at the eight (8) biggest insurance companies more than doubled. "Non-profit" hospital executives now regularly receive $10 million dollar comp packages. Meanwhile, the average worker's share of family premiums increased 40% since 2010, total family premiums increased 55% since 2010. And, what's sad is that the reason these percentages are not even higher is the ever-increasing deductible.  What can a company do about it?
