flag Employer healthcare costs to rise 10% in 2026 due to drug prices, hospital fees, and excessive bureaucracy, not patient care.

flag Employer healthcare costs are projected to rise nearly 10% in 2026, driven by higher drug prices, hospital expenses, and growing administrative costs, according to Aon. flag While healthcare spending continues to increase annually, much of the growth stems from bureaucracy—such as billing, compliance, and insurance-related roles—rather than direct patient care. flag Critics argue this expansion of administrative staff, fueled by regulations and insurance complexity, contributes to longer patient wait times and inefficiencies. flag Reforms proposed include shifting funds toward frontline care, reducing regulatory barriers to improve access, and giving patients greater control over healthcare spending through personalized accounts to boost competition and efficiency.
