New State-By-State Report: Employer Health Insurance Premium Growth Slowed in Most States Following Affordable Care Act Implementation

Employer-sponsored health insurance premiums grew more slowly in 31 states and the District of Columbia between 2010 and 2013, following passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), according to a new Commonwealth Fund report. But because wages have grown even more slowly over this period, average annual premiums, including both the employer and employee contributions, by 2013 represented 20 percent or more of household income in 37 states, compared to just two states in 2003.
