This briefing is on the release of the Kaiser Family Foundation/Health Research and Educational Trust 2005 Annual Employer Health Benefits Survey, an in-depth look at trends in health insurance costs and coverage in the workplace.
The survey documents the change over the past year in health insurance premiums, benefits and employer cost-sharing mechanisms. This year, the survey also captures a detailed look at high deductible health plans (HDHPs) and consumer-driven arrangements like health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) and health savings accounts (HSAs).
