flag Family health insurance costs hit nearly $27,000 annually in 2025, driven by rising medical expenses and drug prices.

flag Employer-sponsored family health insurance averaged nearly $27,000 annually in 2025, the third consecutive year of double-digit premium increases, according to a KFF survey of over 1,860 employers. flag This 6% rise follows two prior 7% hikes, outpacing inflation and driven by rising costs for new treatments like GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, increased chronic conditions among working-age adults, and higher hospital billing. flag Small businesses are especially impacted, with 51% reporting cost increases of 10% or more, prompting some to shift to Health Reimbursement Accounts or raise employee contributions. flag Workers face higher deductibles and copayments, with over one-third now facing individual deductibles of $2,000 or more. flag Experts warn sustained health care inflation could constrain wage growth and hiring.
