The increased cost of health insurance is a central fact in any discussion of health policy and health delivery. As annual premiums edged beyond $16,000 for an average family, costs are blamed for rising uninsured and "under-insurance." For those Americans who are fully-covered, these cost realities affect employers, both large and small, not to mention the "pocket-book impact" on ordinary families.
