KFF says almost 153 million Americans have it. Companies generally pay most of the premium — 70% or more in many cases.That can soften the impact of price hikes on employees. Coverage costs also are taken out of paychecks before taxes, which helps mitigate the financial pinch workers may feel, noted Fronstin, who was not involved in the KFF study.KFF noted that premiums climbed roughly with wages and inflation. The wider economy has felt those two pressures for more than a year, and now they are starting to affect health care costs, said Gary Claxton, a senior vice president with KFF. He noted that there can be a delay because health care contracts can keep costs stable after prices start rising in other parts of the economy.Fronstin said health care provider consolidation also can drive up care costs, which ultimately affects premiums. He also thinks the U.S. health care system — with its limited capacity to treat people — is still catching up on providing care that was delayed during the COVID-19 pandemic.“There’s only so much room for catch up,” he said. “I don’t believe colonoscopy centers are running 24/7 to catch up.”___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.

B | 从照片中,我们可以看到绿色的芽已经发芽了。官员们说,棉花的种子芽将继续生长,给这颗贫瘠的月亮带来第一缕绿色。据中央电视台报道,该芽的萌发标志着嫦娥四号在月球上进行的第一次生物实验的完成。据报道,嫦娥4号携带有棉花、油菜、土豆、拟南芥、酵母和果蝇等六种有机体,它们的种子和卵已被带到月球上。一些网友开玩笑说,“月球上的嫦娥终于可以吃蔬菜了”,一些网友哀叹道,“航天工业的发展进步也是中国综合国力的有力体现”。
