Countering the Rising Cost of Health Care in the US

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

According to a recent article in an online forum, the cost of health care is set to rise by over 10 percent in the next 12 months. How this will affect insurance rates and how the impending health care reforms would influence premium rates, remains to be seen.

The worst affected by this news are the number of small businesses that are already burdened with a huge revenue outflow on account of employee benefits. What should be their course of action in such a scenario when leading national level insurance brokers are projecting a 10 percent increase in premiums for health insurance? Obviously this is not a time to sit back and wait for a public option while choosing an inertial course of action by auto renewing current policies. On the contrary, it would be beneficial to sit down with a professional insurance broker who can assist you in working out a viable insurance plan for your employees that won’t adversely affect the bottom line in your business. This can be achieved by understanding the nuances of “high deductible plans” or even looking at the possibility of voluntary benefit programs that provide employees with several options for their health care plans.
