New Findings About Health Benefits
Health Affairs' newest article, released ahead-of-print today
<[link removed]>,
details findings from the twenty-fourth annual Kaiser Family Foundation
(KFF) Employer Health Benefits Survey.
Gary Claxton and coauthors report very little change to the cost of
employer-sponsored health insurance in 2022, with 2022's average
annual premium being $7,911 for single employee coverage and $22,463 for
family coverage-2 percent and 1 percent higher, respectively, from
rates in 2021.
The report reveals ongoing disparities in the burden of health care
costs on workers at smaller and large employers.
Workers at small firms (with less than 200 workers) on average pay
$7,556 out of their paychecks annually for family coverage-nearly
$2,000 more than workers at larger firms ($5,580).
Additionally, the authors find that almost half of large employers
reported an increase from 2021 in the share of employees using mental
health services.
Dive deeper into the full findings from 2022's KFF Employer Health
Benefits Survey today.
