While the study found that most employers still pay the bulk of the insurance premium costs – 70 percent for family coverage and 81 percent for individual coverage – the increases have used employer resources that might have been deployed in other ways, such as in pay or contributions to employee retirement plans. And while employers may not have passed on the bulk of premium increases, the plans they have chosen have also seen a steady rise in the amount of cost shifting occurring, with increases in deductibles alone increasing 77 percent on average. There was also an increase in the number of people facing deductible payments – up to 74 percent in 2009, versus 52 percent in 2003. ♦♦♦♦♥♦♦♦♦
