According to the latest survey conducted by leading personal finance website GOBankingRates.com, 43 percent of Americans expect to pay more for health insurance in 2016, with 23 percent expecting to pay “a little more than the last year” and 20 percent expecting to pay “a lot more than the last year.”
To see what kind of cost increases Americans are anticipating, GOBankingRates conducted a Google Consumer Survey, asking over 5,000 respondents, “How much do you expect to pay for healthcare in the next year?”
The breakdown of responses according to the four answer options is as follows:
— Less than the last year — 20%
— Same as the last year — 37%
— A little more than the last year — 23%
— A lot more than the last year — 20%
