Workers paid as much as 121 percent more in 2009 than in 2001 for their share of employer-sponsored health insurance, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality reported on Wednesday.

An employee’s share of paying for health insurance rose more than either inflation or the increase in health insurance premiums overall, the federal agency found.
