Contributions from employers to workers' account-based health plans declined for the second year in a row in 2010, according to new findings by the nonpartisan Employee Benefit Research Institute.
22 Million Employees enrolled in a CDHP or in a high-deductible health plan in 2010.
“The recession had a profound effect on employers, and they are continuing to look for ways to cut health care costs while empowering their workers to make cost-conscious decisions about their health.”
– Paul Fronstin
Workers with employee-only coverage responded to the decrease from employers by increasing their own personal contributions; workers wit family coverage did not increase their contributions.
