Survey: Companies continue to pass health costs to workers
If your employer is sticking you with a bigger share of the medical bill before health insurance kicks in, you may have to get used to it. More companies are making workers pay an annual deductible or increasing the amount they must spend before insurance starts covering most care, according to a survey released Wednesday by the Kaiser Family Foundation. Annual deductibles for single coverage have now climbed about eight times as fast as wages over the last decade. That means that those who use the health care system are pouring more of their take-home pay into medical bills even though they have coverage.

Embrace Pet Insurance Announces Supporting Partnership with RedRover Through a Donation Campaign for Responder and Relief Efforts
Embrace Pet Insurance announces new supporting partnership with RedRover through a donation campaign for RedRover Responder and RedRover Relief efforts. In month of October, Embrace will donate $2 of every policy sold to the RedRover Relief program.
CLEVELAND (PRWEB) October 01, 2018
Embrace Pet Insurance, a leading pet insurance provider, has donated $5,000 to RedRover, a national nonprofit animal welfare organization based in Sacramento, to assist with animal-related relief efforts. Embrace believes in the power of paying it forward and giving back to the pet community is a company core value. In this spirit, Embrace donates $2 to a pet-related charity for every policy sold and is always seeking new ways to help. Partnering with RedRover is a natural fit.
Since 1987, RedRover has focused on bringing animals out of crisis and strengthening the human-animal bond through emergency sheltering, disaster relief services, financial assistance, and humane education. Their three programs are RedRover Readers, RedRover Responders, and RedRover Relief.
Embrace’s $5,000 donation will assist with RedRover Responders, which provides emergency sheltering for animals in natural disasters, including Hurricane Florence, and manmade disasters, such as hoarding or puppy mills.
“When Embrace Pet Insurance learned about RedRover’s mission and scope of work, we knew we had to be involved. They’re doing exactly what we at Embrace believe in deeply, bringing animals from crisis to care,” said Ambrish Jaiswal, Chief Executive Officer at Embrace.
In the month of October, Embrace will donate $2 of every policy sold to the RedRover Relief program. The RedRover Relief program provides financial and emotional support for pet owners in need of emergency veterinary care and assistance with the cost of boarding to help victims of domestic violence escape with their pets.
Join Embrace and RedRover in raising awareness about the link between domestic violence and animal abuse during October’s Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
