WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Healthcare costs for Americans who get medical coverage through an employer hit a record $16,771 per family this year, and they are having to pay more themselves, a report released on Monday showed.
Employers trying to save money in the current recession have forced workers to take on a greater portion of their healthcare costs, according to Milliman Inc., the consulting firm that prepared the report.
That trend could accelerate the longer the recession lasts, the report stated.

JG: As long as Americans continue to vote against their own self interests by voting for the candidates of the two major capitalist bourgeois parties, they will continue to be screwed.
