12/1/2006: Comparison of Expenditures in Nongroup and Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance (Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation)

Excerpt: This brief looks at the amount of coverage provided in the nongroup market by comparing the spending of nonelderly people with nongroup coverage ('nongroup enrollees') to nonelderly people with employer-sponsored health insurance ('ESI enrollees'). In particular we look for each group of enrollees at the relative amounts paid by private insurance and at the relative percentages of spending that are out-of-pocket.
