American Public Media's "Marketplace" interviewed Associate Professor Darius Lakdawalla about the hidden costs of employer-provided health care. "They'll go to the drug store, they'll get charged 20 bucks or 40 bucks for their prescriptions. Those kinds of things employees are going to tend to know about," Lakdawalla said. "Oftentimes, they don't really know how much the employer is paying for the health insurance premium." Lakdawalla is director of research at the Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics.
