New Findings About Health Benefits
Earlier this week, Health Affairs released an article ahead-of-print
<[link removed]>
detailing findings from the twenty-fourth annual Kaiser Family
Foundation (KFF) Employer Health Benefits Survey. Key findings from the
article include:
* There is 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.
* 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).
* Almost half of large employers reported an increase from 2021 in the
share of employees using mental health services.

Art Enables: Jamila Rahimi
[link removed]
This week, we're highlighting another resident artist from Art Enables
<[link removed]>, a nonprofit organization that provides
opportunities and experiences to artists with disabilities. We purchased
original artwork by five talented artists, some of which are featured in
our Disability & Health
<[link removed]>
issue, and we are honored to share their stories.
Meet Jamila Rahimi, who joined Art Enables <[link removed]> in
2006.
Her works are inspired by her interests in travel, nature, and baseball,
and typically include vibrant shapes comprised of watercolor, ink,
colored pencil, and marker.
"I like Art Enables because I can get out of the house and come here to
make art," says Rahimi.

In the past six years alone, her compositions have been showcased in
over 40 online and in-person exhibitions held at Art Enables, the World
Bank, Dennis and Phillip Ratner Museum, Dumbarton Concerts, Children's
National Hospital, Catholic University, and The Apollo.
