Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Requiring employees to pay higher deductibles and copays is a common response to increased benefit costs because it allows employers to continue offering health care plans while also shifting some of the financial burden onto employees. Laying off employees or dropping health care plans would be drastic measures and not necessarily a common response to increased benefit costs. Relying solely on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is not a viable solution as employers still need to offer competitive benefits to attract and retain employees.
