Deft Research recently released a new study about senior health consumers, the 2008 Senior Market Dynamics Study. One of the groups looked at in this study is group retirees, who consistently agree that their health plans are quite stable. Despite this, there are still some important changes being experienced by these retirees. For example, 12% of retirees in this study said that the benefits offered to their spouse were reduced in the last two years. Cost sharing changes are even more likely. This year 31% of retirees said they experienced copayment increases and the same amount experienced coinsurance increases. For some retirees, these changes were enough to prompt shopping for new health coverage.
