Reports indicate that employer healthcare costs could rise by 8-9% in 2025, partly due to the increasing use of GLP-1 medications for diabetes and weight management. Aon reports a significant jump in GLP-1 costs, costing employer health plans $6.25 per member per month in 2023, marking a 224% increase from 2022. The Business Group on Health also highlights that rising drug costs, including those for GLP-1s, are driving healthcare expenses up, with past cumulative increases of 50% since 2017.
