Health-care Costs to Rise 6-7%


kalau korang baca analysis kat US by Hewitt nih..the same thing goes to Malaysia. Every year medical inflation mmg confirm naik

tu pun dalam keadaan biasa actuarist expect medical cost may increase by 6-8% kat msia. kalau kat specialist hospital tu lagi dasat la rasanya..

patutnya medical cost ni dikawal sikitlah supaya pesakit takde la rasa beban sgt..dah la sakit nak bayar pun lagi sakit...agak2 kalau ambik insurance cukup tak nak cover overall expenses..

After a steady decline in health-care cost trends for the past eight years, U.S. companies have seen average rate increases around 6 percent to 7 percent, according an analysis by Hewitt Associates, a global human resources consulting company.


In 2008, average health care costs increased 6.0 percent, up from 5.3 percent in 2007. A 6.4 percent average increase in costs is projected in 2009.

The average health cost per person for major companies will increase from $8,331 in 2008 to $8,863 in 2009, according to the study by the Lincolnshire, Ill.-based company. The amount employees will be asked to contribute toward this cost will be $1,946, which is about 22 percent of the overall health care premium and up from $1,806 in 2008.

Average employee out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments, coinsurance and deductibles, are also expected to jump from $1,707 in 2008 to $1,880 in 2009, Hewitt (NYSE: HEW) reported. Employees’ total health care costs—including employee contribution and out-of-pocket costs—are projected to be $3,826 in 2009, up 8.9 percent from $3,513 in 2008.
