Are you prepared for the anticipated substantial rise in health care costs for 2024, as indicated by reports from prominent sources like IFEBP, Aon, Mercer, WTW, and PwC?
- Median 7% increase in health care costs projected by employers, based on IFEBP survey. This marks the second consecutive year of such estimates.
- Aon's study reveals employers expect an 8.5% increase in health care costs for 2024, surpassing $15,000 per employee. This is nearly double the 4.5% increase seen from 2022 to 2023.
- Preliminary findings from Mercer's survey suggest a 6.6% anticipated rise in health care costs for 2024, excluding plan design changes.
- PwC's research notes employers estimating a 7% increase in health plans' health care costs for 2024, surpassing previous years' projections.
- WTW's survey results indicate that employers anticipate a 6.5% increase in health care costs for 2024.
These reports emphasize that employers are likely to face ongoing challenges related to increasing health care costs. While the optimal approaches for addressing these cost hikes may differ for each organization, it's essential for employers to assess their benefits packages to identify the most efficient cost-saving measures and ensure they align with employees' requirements.

We're facing a concerning trend that's impacting working families nationwide: the escalating cost of child care. The findings from the 10th annual Cost of Care Report reveal a staggering realityโ67% of surveyed parents are dedicating 20% or more of their annual income to child care expenses. This figure has surged from 2022's 51%, marking a decade of consecutive increases.
American parents, on average, are allocating 27% of their household income to cover child care costs, and a significant 89% are spending 10% or more of their annual earnings. Surprisingly, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services considers child care unaffordable only when it surpasses 7% of a family's income.
Numerous factors are contributing to this financial strain, including rising fees at child care centers, inflation, and the evolving work landscape that necessitates flexible child care solutions. Unfortunately, this growing demand has not only raised prices but also created accessibility challenges.
The challenges are evident:
64% of parents have been waitlisted for day care.
A startling 75% of parents have fewer than six day care options within a 20-minute commute.
The cost of day care has surged by 53% since 2013, along with significant increases in nanny, babysitter, and family care center costs.
This issue is particularly harsh for single parents, often forcing them to juggle work hours or seek extra employment to afford child care. Lower- and middle-class families are disproportionately affected, allocating a higher percentage of their income to cover these vital expenses.
Employers have a crucial role in alleviating this situation by offering flexible solutions like child care subsidies, on-site day care, and backup day care. By lightening the child care cost burden, we can empower and retain valuable working parents, making a positive impact on both their lives and the workforce as a whole.
For more insights on supporting working families and navigating child care challenges, feel free to get in touch. Let's work together to create a more manageable future for families and their children.
๐ข Brace Yourself: ACA Premiums Set to Rise in 2024 ๐
Hold onto your hats, folks! Get ready for a potential bump in Affordable Care Act (ACA) health plan premiums next year. According to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) report, health care insurers are eyeing a median 6% increase for 2024 premiums. What's behind the curtain, you ask? Rising health care costs, that's what!
While medical inflation has a history of trailing behind the economy, it seems like the tides are turning. Prices for health care services and medications are flexing their muscles, causing a ripple effect on premiums. It's like that moment when you realize you've been holding your breath - inflation is catching up!
Hold onto your popcorn, because there's more drama in store. ๐ฟ The KFF report spills the beans on other factors influencing 2024 ACA premiums:
๐ฅ Health Care Utilization Surge: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a utilization lull, but guess what? Utilization is predicted to bounce back to pre-pandemic levels in 2023 and 2024. And what does that mean? Yep, higher premiums are making an entrance.
๐ Medicaid Resumes: The curtain rose on Medicaid redeterminations, waving goodbye to 3.8 million people (so far). Word on the street is that some of these folks might join the ACA Marketplace party. Cue the premium impact!
๐ Diabetic Drama: Diabetes and weight loss drugs are taking center stage. With more folks seeking those pricey glucagon-like peptide 1 diabetes and weight loss drugs, insurers foresee a rise in pharmaceutical spending, leading toโyou guessed itโhigher premiums.
๐ Subsidies to the Rescue: The Inflation Reduction Act is like a superhero, extending those enhanced subsidies from the pandemic era all the way to 2025. Good news for individuals enrolled in ACA Marketplace plansโyour premiums might catch a break!
What's on the horizon? The rates proposed by insurers are like previews, subject to change before the big show later this year. ๐ฌ But one thing's clear: affordability and rising health care costs are taking the spotlight, posing challenges for insurers on the long and winding road ahead.
Stay in the loop and keep an eye on ACA Marketplace premium trends. As employers, you're the directors of informed choices for your employees. Lights, camera, ACA action! ๐ฅ๐
