Synopsis

The public knows that employer sponsored health insurance has skyrocketed in costs the past 25 years. An employer sponsored insurance policy costs over four times what it did in 1996. However, few persons understand what really drives employer sponsored insurance costs to outpace general inflation each year, and how workers bear the burden of those costs. Employer Health Insurance and the Damage Done is an insider perspective from a three decade veteran of the health insurance industry that explains why hospitals, physicians, and insurers are all rewarded for ever-increasing prices and costs under employer sponsored health insurance, and how the 71 million workers covered by such insurance end up funding those prices and costs through reduced wages.
