Meanwhile, employees have to pay steeper deductibles before their health insurance even kicks in. Some 81% of firms have deductibles now, up from 55% in 2006. And 46% of workers with single coverage face deductibles of at least $1,000, up from 10% in 2006.

Obamacare premiums are on the rise, as well. The cost of the benchmark silver plan rose 10.1%, on average, for 2016, according to a Kaiser analysis.
