MRSH ▲ +0.1% - Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. $MRSH - Employers Expect Health Benefit Costs to Jump 8.2% in 2027, and the Impact Will Likely Be Felt by Workers, According to Marsh Marsh & McLennan's survey found that employers anticipate health benefit costs will rise 8.2% in 2027, with employees likely to shoulder more of that burden through higher premiums and out-of-pocket expenses. The modest 0.1% gain suggests the market has largely absorbed this cost-pressure forecast, which could support demand for Marsh's consulting and benefits advisory services as employers seek help managing these escalating expenses. 02-SEP-2026 09:04 AM ET
