Health Care

Health insurance costs are expected to increase again in 2007, although not by as much as in some recent years, local health insurance brokers say. Still, as health care costs continue to escalate, more businesses are asking their employees to shoulder a greater share of their health insurance costs. Many firms are creating health benefits packages with high deductibles, often combined with a health savings account (HSA) or a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA). That trend is also expected to continue in 2007, health insurance brokers say.
