Kaiser Health News (11/10, Andrews) reports, “In its 2021 Employer Health Benefits Survey, released” Nov. 10, the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) “found that many employers have ramped up mental health and other benefits to provide support for their workers during uncertain times” as the COVID-19 pandemic continues. The survey also revealed that “the proportion of employers offering health insurance to their workers remained steady, and increases for health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket health expenses were moderate, in line with the rise in pay,” while “deductibles were largely unchanged from the previous two years.”
