ON Semiconductor Employees: Navigating the Rising Costs of College Tuition for Your Family

Healthcare Provider Update: Healthcare Provider for ON Semiconductor ON Semiconductor partners with various health insurance providers to administer employee healthcare benefits. While the specific provider may vary based on location and employee needs, large national insurers such as UnitedHealthcare and Anthem BlueCross BlueShield are often utilized by companies of ON Semiconductor's size. This partnership emphasizes ON Semiconductor's commitment to providing comprehensive healthcare benefits to its workforce. Potential Healthcare Cost Increases in 2026 As we look ahead to 2026, ON Semiconductor, along with other companies, may face substantial increases in healthcare costs due to anticipated record hikes in premiums for Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace plans. Reports indicate that some states could experience premium increases over 60%, driven by factors such as rising medical costs and the potential expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies. This perfect storm of challenges is expected to push out-of-pocket premiums up by 75% or more for a significant number of enrollees, thereby amplifying the financial burden on employers and employees alike. Companies like ON Semiconductor will need to prepare for these increased costs in their healthcare budgets, particularly as the healthcare landscape continues to evolve dramatically.

It doesn’t take a degree in finance to see the cost of college continues to rise.

In its 2017 report, the College Board showed that public four-year institutions raised prices an average of 3.2% annually between the 2007-08 and 2017-18 school years. Put another way, a $5,000 education in 2007-08 would cost $6,851 in 2017-18.

For a few families, the lion’s share of education costs falls on parents and, in some cases, on grandparents. For our ON Semiconductor clients who are parents you may already know, generally, the majority of families rely on a combination of scholarships, grants, financial aid, part-time jobs, and parent support to help pay the cost.
