Fewer people have health insurance coverage at work

摘要

Research by the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) finds that the percentage of American workers with health coverage is down. Among reasons for the trend, EBRI points to the following: 1. A drop in the percentage of workers offered health benefits at work-from 70.1 percent in 1997 to 67.5 percent in 2010. 2. A growing percentage of workers are part-time and typically do not qualify for workplace health benefits.
