NU Online News Service, July 28, 2003, 2:34 p.m. EDT – U.S. employers aren’t the only employers in North America that are worrying about the rising cost of health benefits.
Although Canadian employers operate in a much different system, they, too, want to pass a greater share of their costs on to employees, according to results of a survey released by Morneau Sobeco, Toronto.
When the benefits consulting firm polled 332 Canadian employers through the Web earlier this month, it found that 50% of the employers said they had absorbed all or most health benefit cost increases over the past three years.
Only 33% of the employers said they intended to absorb future health benefit cost increases.
