Summary: | Recent data from the Current Population Survey show that the number of uninsured persons in the US increased by about one million between 1995 and 1996. Most insured persons obtain their coverage through their employer. Small employers, however, are much less likely than large employers to offer health insurance to their employees. A study found, however, that small employers have become more likely to offer coverage, but their employees have become less likely to enroll. The data for the analysis are drawn from a 1989 survey of employers conducted by the Health Insurance Association of America and a 1996 survey conducted by KPMG Peat Marwick. |
