Aon warns of steep 2027 health premium hikes as public-sector benefits face strain
Aon’s chief actuary predicts that job-based health premiums will surge in 2027 and urges employers to seek better data, while public-sector health plans remain under pressure.
In a recent release, Aon’s lead actuary cautioned that premiums for employer-provided health coverage are set to become markedly more expensive by 2027, recommending firms obtain more detailed cost insights. The firm has previously limited access to its own data, raising questions about the advice. Meanwhile, workers in government roles continue to rely on the traditional expectation that modest salaries are offset by strong benefit packages, a balance now appearing increasingly tenuous.
Why it matters
Rising health premiums could strain both employers and public-sector workers who rely on strong benefit packages.
