Erica Groschen is a former commissioner of the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
She's now with Cornell.
And she says there are a bunch of reasons why.
One is there's been a lot of innovation in health care.
Think GLP-1 inhibitors, new treatments for cancer.
Gerson says these drugs could make workers healthier in the long term, but right now they're driving insurance costs up.
Another factor?
Rising wages for people who work in health care.
Also, we have an aging workforce, and older people generally use more health care.
So what's a cost-addled employer to do?
Groschen says some might hold off on hiring to keep costs down.
Others could choose to raise prices.
Or the bad news might be for the workers.
Economist Guy Berger is with the Burning Glass Institute.
A survey from the benefits consulting firm Mercer shows that last year, on average, paying for health insurance cost employers about $17,500 for each worker on a company-sponsored plan.
Sunit Patel is chief actuary for U.S.
Health with Mercer.
Healthcare costs are the biggest component of benefits for most companies.
He says some employers are trying to nudge workers towards certain providers to save on those costs.
