Healthcare Coverage and Cost Discussions Are Blind to Extent of Employer-Sponsored Health Plans
The American Spectator [Opinion] Feb. 26, 2010 "Only 6 percent of the population actually buys their own insurance. (And for this, we are painting the insurance companies as the villains of this melodrama?) ... 66 percent do not have insurance but health benefits, which is not the same thing. Nine percent gets its benefits from government employment, 4 percent from the military and the remaining 43 percent get their benefits from private employment.... We're not going to be able to 'get everybody into the pool' because doing that would mean breaking up the system of employment-based health benefits that is protected by ERISA. That 43 percent of the market is staying put." |
