Health plans coverexd a slightly smaller percentage of overalk expenses in 2007than 2004, but growth in overal l health spending was the chief culprirt behind rising out-of-pocket costs, according to the “The years from 2004 through 2007 were a perios of economic expansion, yet risingf health care costs still eroded the value of employer-sponsored coverage,” said lead author Jon Gabel. “Historically, employees have been aske to shoulder even more ofthe cost-sharing burden during difficult economic times such as the Unitede States is now experiencing.
Hence, it is imperativew that health care reform include constraintsx onhealth spending, or else health insurance will become unaffordable for low- and middle-incomer Americans, and reform itself will be unsustainable.”
