2010 health care cost projections

Business Insurance reports on two new 2010 health care cost projections -- one from Aon Consulting and the other from Segal Consulting. Both projections are based on broad surveys of health insurers, third party administrators, and PBMs. Both consulting firms project increases of slightly more than 10%, roughly in line with 2009. Projections vary regionally and do not account for benefit design changes.
