Employers Can Expect Large Jump in Health Care Costs Next Year
Average costs for U.S. employers that pay for their employees' health care will increase 6.5 percent to more than $13,800 per employee in 2023, according to Aon, a global professional services firm.
This projection is more than double the 3 percent increase to health care budgets which employers experienced from 2021 to 2022. However, it is significantly below the 9.1 inflation figure reported through the Consumer Price Index.
