Body
Most Americans get their health insurance through employers. According to KFF Research, 155 million employees had health insurance through employers in 2021. The average yearly premiums were $1,299 for single coverage and $5,969 for family coverage. The average family premium had increased 22% over the prior five years and 47% over the prior ten years. However, employees’ wages had increased only 5% and inflation increased at least 1.9%.
