Small businesses absorb 31% health premium surge
Original: Small businesses absorb 31% premium surge rather than cut health coverage
Small businesses are facing a 31% surge in health insurance premiums and are largely choosing to absorb the higher costs rather than drop or reduce employee health coverage. The increase adds significant financial pressure on smaller firms, which typically have less bargaining power than large employers and fewer options for spreading healthcare expenses across their workforce.
Why now: Rising health insurance costs are a pressing concern for small employers and their employees right now
