How much does your group health plan REALLY cost? For your employees – it’s more than you think. For you – it’s more than you’d like … and it continues to grow.
From KFF Health System Tracker 2024 numbers – the TOTAL annual family premium was $22,840. That number grew in 2025. And for 2026 – that number is projected to be $26,993.
Employee contributions have grown from 15% in 2024 to projected 25+% in 2026.
Employers are challenged to cover these growing costs and are now sharing more of these costs with covered employees. And that means less take-home pay (and sometimes lesser benefits in their plan too).
This is what is happening with group health plans all across the nation. And it’s not going to change if you continue to rely on brokers satisfied with the status-quo plans.
There is a better way to take control. It’s starts with FairCost Health Plan.
