STAT: Aon expects a difficult 2027 for employer health insurance premiums
Consulting and brokerage company Aon believes that 2027 will be difficult for health insurance premiums paid under employer programs. STAT News reported this in its weekly healthcare business newsletter.
Cost data
Aon’s chief actuary said in a company statement that employers will need better data and a deeper understanding of exactly where costs are rising. Newsletter author Bob Herman drew attention to this statement and noted that Aon had limited companies’ access to their data.

Insurance for public-sector employees
One of the newsletter’s topics is pressure on health insurance programs for public-sector employees. Herman described the widespread perception of government work: lower pay can be offset by better benefits, including health insurance.
The photo caption mentions Justin Douglas, who led a property tax increase in Dauphin County to help cover rising healthcare costs. The newsletter’s headline also previews a topic involving a confrontation between a union and a hospital, but details of this episode are not available in the accessible excerpt.
