I hope the President is paying attention because some of the lesser Dems are trying to screw this up every chance they get.
BETHESDA, Md., June 3 (UPI) -- U.S. adults with employer-provided health coverage faced an average $729 in out-of-pocket costs for deductibles and co-payments in 2007, researchers said.
The study, authored by researchers from the National Opinion Research Center and Watson Wyatt Worldwide for The Commonwealth Fund, found that employees' annual out-of-pocket healthcare expenses increased by 34 percent from 2004 to 2007.
In 2007, adults with employer coverage paid an average of $729 in out-of-pocket expenses for medical services, the study said.
"The years from 2004-2007 were a period of economic expansion, yet rising healthcare costs still eroded the value of employer-sponsored coverage," lead author Jon Gabel, a senior fellow at National Opinion Research Center in Bethesda, Md., said in a statement.
