The average cost of employer-sponsored healthcare coverage in the U.S. is expected to increase 9% next year, surpassing $16,000 per employee in 2025, according to a new Aon report.
This projected increase, which assumes employers do not implement employee cost-sharing increases and other cost-saving strategies, is higher than the 6.4% increase to healthcare budgets that employers experienced from 2023 to 2024, after cost-saving strategies.
