Time - Around 154 million Americans under age 65 rely on employer-sponsored coverage. And starting this month and into January, employees will be able to pick their plans for the next year during the open enrollment process—and this is when they’ll get a sense of just how much more they can expect to pay. One recent survey by Mercer found that employers expect to pay an average 6.5% more for health care for their employees in 2026, which is the highest increase since 2010. Another poll of employers by the Business Group on Health found that respondents projected health care costs to jump 7.6% in 2026, on average, the highest increase in over a decade.
