Workers favor health benefit choices and higher costs
A Watson Wyatt study of 255 large employers and over 10 000 workers across 18 companies finds a majority want more health plan choices and are willing to pay more. 55 percent seek broader medical plan options, 54 percent prefer higher co pays, and 39 percent favor defined contribution plans. Employers warn a voucher system lacks negotiating power and tax effectiveness while urging broader plan options and cost-sharing at service time.
