Summary: Healthcare costs are going way up! In 2026, the average family of four with health insurance through their job will spend $37,824 on healthcare. For just one person, it costs $8,460. Why is it so expensive? A big reason is the cost of prescription drugs, especially popular weight-loss and diabetes shots like Ozempic and Wegovy. Pharmacy costs jumped almost 15% because of these drugs. Also, visits to clinics and outpatient centers cost four times as much as they did in 2005. Experts say things like hospital mergers and even new AI billing tools are pushing prices even higher.
