Erratum
"Health Benefits In 2004: Four Years of Double-Digit Premium Increases Take
Their Toll On Coverage," by Jon Gabel and colleagues (Sep/Oct 2004)
contains two errors. The third sentence of the abstract should read, "Since
2000, premiums have risen 59 percent. Since 2001, employee contributions
have grown by 57 percent for single coverage and 49 percent for family
coverage..."; all other references to 2001 in the abstract are correct as
published. In the paragraph below the subheading "Outlook For The Future,"
the second sentence should read, "Since 2000, premiums have risen 59
percent. Since 2001, employee contributions for single coverage have risen
57 percent, and contributions for family coverage have risen 49 percent."
All remaining references to 2001 in this paragraph are correct as
published. We regret any confusion this error may have caused.
