Fierce Healthcare – Tuesday, October 29, 2024
By Paige Minemyer
Employers are concerned that rising healthcare costs could force them to rethink salary or wage increases, according to a new study.
The National Alliance of Healthcare Purchaser Coalitions released its 2024 “Pulse of the Purchaser” survey, which polled 188 employers across multiple organizations. About three-quarters (74%) of those surveyed said they feel healthcare costs drive trade-offs for wage or salary increases, with 38% saying they “strongly agree” that this is the case.
