Employer health care costs are expected to rise almost 10% - double the annual inflation rate – in 2008, according to a study by PriceWaterhouseCoopers published June 17 in USA Today. The study predicts an additional 9.6% rise in 2009. Two factors are cited as driving up costs: A hospital building boom, and an increase in the expenses that people who have insurance are paying for people without insurance.
