Family Health Insurance Hits $28,303 a Year, Small-Firm Workers Hit Hardest
Original: Family Health Insurance Now Costs $28,303 — But Workers at Small Companies Pay 42% More
New figures show the average annual cost of family health insurance in the United States has reached $28,303, with employees at small companies paying roughly 42% more than those at larger firms. The gap highlights how small businesses, with less bargaining power, pass a larger share of rising premiums on to their workers, renewing debate over affordability of employer-sponsored coverage.
Why now: The sharp rise in premium costs and the wide small-company penalty are striking new numbers in an ongoing debate over healthcare affordability.
