Trends In Employer-Sponsored Insurance Coverage

In an article published Ahead of Print, KFF presents its findings from
the twenty-fifth annual KFF Employer Health Benefits Survey.

This survey examines eligibility and enrollment in employer-sponsored
health insurance
.

KFF documents that the average annual premium for employer-sponsored
family health insurance coverage was $23,968 in 2023, a 7 percent
increase from 2022.

KFF also finds that both single and family premiums increased faster in
2023 than in 2022, and that on average, covered workers contributed 17
percent and 29 percent of the cost of single and family coverage,
respectively.

KFF adds that among surveyed firms with fifty or more workers, "57
percent believed that their employees had a high or moderate level of
concern about the affordability of cost sharing in their health
plans."

The article concludes with a discussion about the implications of the
Dobbs v Jackson decision for employer-sponsored coverage of abortion and
related services.

KFF suggests that employers will need to continually monitor the legal
landscape and assess their coverage as legal restrictions shape the
availability of services.
