Health Care Costs Rise Across Nation and South Carolina
The Service Employees International Union accuses rising health care costs of squeezing family budgets. It estimates the typical working family would have $12,000 in savings since 1980 if costs rose with economic growth. In South Carolina premiums cuts could lift an insured worker’s paycheck by about 4.95 a week, saving $522 per family overall. John Sweeney calls high costs a factor in a sick economy amid Lewin-ICF calculations.
