As employers continue to load more health care expenses onto workers, more than half (53 percent) of employees are still choosing a major medical plan based on factors that may have little to do with the total cost of health care for which they are increasingly responsible. According to the 2015 Aflac Open Enrollment Survey released recently by Aflac (AFL), the leading provider of voluntary insurance at the work site in the United States, most workers (75 percent) at least somewhat agree that even with their health insurance coverage, their medical copays and other out-of-pocket costs are more than they can afford at times. In spite of this, however, a noteworthynumber of consumers lack the desire to research their insurance benefits.
The 2015 Aflac Open Enrollment Survey was conducted among 2,000 U.S. adults employed either full or part time in June and July 2015 by Lightspeed GMI on behalf of Aflac.
In fact, according to Aflac’s survey, many would rather do almost anything else than research their benefits:
- More than a third (38 percent) would rather clean out their email inbox;
- Nearly 1 in 4 (23 percent) would rather clean their toilet; and
- 18 percent would rather do their taxes.
