What this tracks
Healthcare cost trends — premiums, deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, prescription costs, and how they rise with age.
Why it matters to you
Healthcare is one of the biggest — and most unpredictable — costs a working family faces. Planning for it is how a medical bill stays a bill instead of becoming debt.
For example
A family choosing a health plan can weigh the real total cost — premium plus likely out-of-pocket — instead of picking on the monthly price alone.
