一 | The cost of health coverage through work jumped this year, in part because of inflation, according to a survey of U.S. employers.Premiums for both family and single plans climbed 7% after barely rising in 2022, according to a report Wednesday by KFF, a nonprofit that researches health care issues.Later this fall, companies begin their annual coverage enrollment window for 2024, and health care experts say another price hike could be coming.“It’s hard to imagine that there won’t be another year of health care cost increases, at least at the level we’re seeing right now,” said Paul Fronstin, director of health benefits research for the Employee Benefit Research Institute.Employer-sponsored health insurance is the most common form of coverage in the United States. 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.

二 | 2024年的首届三大球运动会上,李晨瑄率领山东青年女排夺冠,她获得了MVP。2025年全运会,李晨瑄率领山东U20女排夺得U20组冠军。可以说,李晨瑄在国内同一批年轻球员当中属于顶级新星的存在,而且统治了国内青少年级别的比赛。如今在成年级别的比赛,李晨瑄也展现了强大的威力,和天津女排的国字号主攻手王艺竹、刘美君相比,李晨瑄展现了更出众的进攻火力。毫无疑问,李晨瑄是2025-26赛季女排联赛最闪耀的新星之一。中国女排进入了一个换血时代,主帅赵勇在去年招进了许多年轻球员进行锤炼。但实际上,这些年轻球员在本赛季的女排联赛的表现,没有李晨瑄这么出彩。李晨瑄如今正率领山东女排冲击本赛季女排联赛季军。下一个回合,山东女排主场对阵天津女排,只要赢球就能获得季军。如果下一回合在常规时间输球,山东女排和天津女排还要进行金局加赛。但是很显然,从目前情况来看,山东女排状态正佳,获得季军的机会非常大。这个赛季结束,中国女排再次集结时,李晨瑄绝对值得一个集训名额,参与主攻位置的竞争。
