Hewitt Associates and Kaiser study finds eight percent of large firms trimmed subsidized retiree coverage this year with another 11 percent likely to do so next year.

A majority of large employers plan to accept the 28 percent tax free subsidy to keep offering prescription drug benefits for retirees once the Medicare drug insurance begins in 2006. The survey of 333 employers with 1,000 or more workers shows strategies they will use under the Medicare drug law. About 15 million retirees rely on former employers for health coverage, Kaiser said.
