Employee dissatisfaction with employer offered health care benefits reached an all-time low this year. According to the annual Emerging Workforce Study by Spherion Corporation, only 34% of workers are satisfied with their health care coverage. Unresponsiveness of insurance companies and raising co-pays are commonly expressed areas of concern. 

But, at the same time, 78% of workers view health care coverage, including medical reimbursement plans, are the most important retention tool that employers have. The main draw seems to be a fear of a waiting period or loss of coverage for existing conditions with a new employer.
