KFF released a survey of employers on employer-sponsored benefits for 2009, which found that since 1999, average annual premiums for family coverage have increased 131 percent to $13,375, and average annual employee contributions toward premiums for family coverage have increased 128 percent to $3,515. The survey found that workers with employer-sponsored coverage, on average, paid for 17 percent of their premium costs for single coverage and 27 percent for family coverage, and that the two most commonly utilized plans are PPOs and HMOs, with 60 percent and 20 percent of those with employer-sponsored coverage enrolled in them, respectively.
From the report:
Employer-sponsored insurance is the leading source of health insurance, covering about 159 million nonelderly people in America. To provide current information about the nature of employer-sponsored health benefits, the Kaiser Family Foundation (Kaiser) and the Health Research & Educational Trust (HRET) conduct an annual national survey of nonfederal private and public employers with three or more workers. This is the eleventh Kaiser/HRET survey and reflects health benefit information for 2009.
