Healthcare prices are due to increase by 11% - meaning companies and families will pay more, only for patients to receive worse care. All of this because Trump & the GOP prioritized tax cuts for billionaires over making healthcare affordable. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/02/b...

Employer Health Costs Are Expected to Spike in 2027
A new U.S. survey anticipates an average increase of 11 percent unless benefits are cut, the highest rate in decades. Other findings also predict a sharp rise.
