According to a recent report (pdf) by Deloitte, out-of-pocket healthcare expenses cost women $15 billion more per year than men in the US. The report, which analyzed health insurance data from 2017 to 2022, raises questions about how businesses and health insurers can help close this gender gap. The disparity in healthcare expenses highlights the need for businesses to examine benefits coverage in order to make healthcare more affordable for female employees, particularly in light of existing gender-based wage gaps.
