It seems the cost of &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;health care &lt;/span&gt;rises while benefits decline and more and more insurance companies are covering less and charging more. While employers shift the burden of &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;health care&lt;/span&gt; costs to &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;their&lt;/span&gt; employees it is getting tougher and tougher for some.

No one could tell him what he would pay for a simple procedure. It seemed to him that all the inefficiencies in the system kept the hospitals from giving him the answer he was looking for.
