Abstract
We examine how employees reallocate compensation in response to increase in health insurance premiums. We find that a $1 increase in insurance premiums leads to a 52-cent increase in health insurance expenditures. Approximately 2/3 of this increase is financed through reduced wages and 1/3 through other benefits.
