According to the 2009 Employer Health Benefits Survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust, health insurance premiums have soared 131% since 1999, racing past the meager 38% increase in wages and the 28% increase in inflation during the same period. The report is based on a survey of 3,100 U.S. firms. That's why so many firms have reduced or eliminated health care insurance.
It's also why America needs to come to grips with a broken health care system that's consuming 16.7% of our nation's GDP.
