A new U.S. survey projects that employer health costs will jump by an average of 11 percent in 2027, according to a report by NYT Business.

The outlet said the forecast would mark the highest projected rate in decades, unless employers scale back benefits.

The survey also found other measures pointing to a broader and sharper rise in health costs beyond the 11 percent average.

NYT Business framed the outlook as a risk to budgets and workforce costs, depending on how employers respond.
