Summary
Employer-sponsored health care costs are expected to surge in 2027, putting additional financial pressure on both companies and workers. Marsh projects total health benefit costs will rise 8.2% per employee, marking the steepest increase since 2003. Without cost-cutting measures, expenses could climb 11%. Employers increasingly face higher treatment costs, expensive prescription drugs, and growing use of GLP-1 medications. To control spending, 59% of employers plan changes such as higher deductibles, while many large companies expect employees to pay a greater share of premiums. As a result, workers may face higher paycheck deductions and out-of-pocket expenses, making health coverage increasingly unaffordable.
