Exhibit 2.12: Percentage of Large Private-Sector Employers Making Changes to Retiree Health Coverage in the Past Year, 2004
Rapid increases in the cost for retiree health coverage have led employers to increase retiree premium contributions and cost sharing. In some cases where firms have capped their future liability toward retiree health care costs (see Exhibits 2.10 and 2.11), firms may increase cost sharing as a way of keeping contribution levels more affordable for retirees, who pay for most or all of retiree benefit cost increases.
