Health Care Costs Among the Insured

Many adults report experiencing rising health care costs. Two-thirds (66%) of those with health insurance say their premiums have increased over the past five years, including 38% who say premiums have gone up “a lot”. Around half of insured adults say their co-payments for provider visits (51%) and health insurance deductibles (49%) have risen over the past five years.

About four in ten say co-payments (40%) and deductibles (42%) have stayed the same, while few say these costs have gone down (5% co-payments, and 3% deductibles).
