Advisor warns of alarming worker health costs despite recent slowdown

While the rise in worker health costs has slowed in recent years, experts argue that the current prices are still unaffordable for many. Premiums, deductibles, and out-of-pocket maximums have all increased, although the rate of increase has slowed compared to previous years. The reduction in cost-sharing requirements can be attributed to a strong labor market, but concerns about affordability remain. Experts suggest choosing a health plan that suits individual needs and being mindful of network providers to keep costs down.
