Health insurance premiums rose a modest 5 percent this year for coverage that’s getting skimpier, researchers say.
The 5 percent increase was comparable to last year’s uptick. Overall, premiums for family coverage increased to $12,680 and premiums for single coverage increased to $4,704, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust. Employers pick up, on average, about three-quarters of that cost.
