Uninsured Add $900 to Health Premiums

MSNBC: "Health insurance premiums will cost families and employers an extra $922 on average this year to cover the costs of caring for the uninsured, according to a report released Wednesday. With the added cost, the yearly premiums for a family with coverage through an employer will average $10,979 in 2005, said the report from consumer group Families USA... its study shows the problem is not restricted to the tens of millions of uninsured Americans. Rather, the problem affects everyone, because the insured subsidize the cost of care given the uninsured."
