Healthcare costs keep rising, and working families are feeling it.
This year, what workers pay toward family coverage through their jobs jumped 9%, nearly 3x the rate of inflation, according to @KFF.
These costs are getting out of hand, with many people delaying or skipping care altogether. New Yorkers, early voting is open through Sunday. Let’s elect leaders who’ll fight for affordable healthcare.
