The competition for employees is leading more businesses to offer more generous health insurance plans in addition to high-deductible plans.
As health insurance premiums rose in recent years, more and more companies were offering their employees more high-deductible insurance options to help keep down the cost of premiums. Now, however, with some workers clamoring for more conventional plans and businesses finding themselves in competition for workers at a time of low unemployment, more businesses are offering those conventional plans to their workers.
2020, in fact, will mark the third consecutive year during which the percentage of companies offering only high-deductible health insurance plans will fall.
