Johns Hopkins Survey Reveals Hidden Dimension of Health Care Crisis

Virtually all (98 percent) of the responding nonprofits offering health benefits indicated that they are concerned about their organization's health care costs, and a striking 59 percent ranked health care costs as one of their organization's top challenges. The impact is already being felt in organizational decisions to stop offering, or reduce coverage of, health benefits, in higher employee co-pays and shares of insurance costs, and in pressures to hold down wages, shift to part-time employees, and even reduce mission-critical services.
