You suspected it. Now you have the numbers.
Americans with employer-sponsored health insurance can expect to pay a bigger share of health care costs this year than ever before -- 41 percent, up from 38 percent in 2006, according to a major national study released Monday.
For a typical family of four, that will come to nearly $7,000 this year.
