Employees Share Burden of Rising Health Care Costs Most big employers (average of 16,000 employees) found that their workers aren’t particularly satisfied with their health plans. The new survey by Watson Wyatt, indicates that 58% of the 175 employers polled are planning a change to deal with rising costs – far ahead of the 39% that intend to take steps to address employee dissatisfaction. Only one out of ten employers earned a rating of "excellent employee satisfaction" on their company’s health plan. The survey found 88% of companies had worker ratings of "average to poor." The study also reports health-plan rate increases of 9.8% from 1999 to 2000, compared with increases of only 7.5% from 1998 to 1999. (8/2000: Howard Parker – Helpline) About
