SEATTLE, May 30 (UPI) -- Of the $22,030 annual healthcare cost for a U.S. family of four, the employer pays $12,886 and the employee pays $9,144, an actuarial and consulting firm says.
The 2013 Milliman Medical Index, calculated by Milliman, found the average employee's share for coverage under an employer-sponsored preferred provider plan is paid through a combination of $5,544 in payroll deductions and $3,600 in out-of-pocket costs.
