The Economic Burden of Providing Health Insurance |
How Much Worse Off Are Small Firms?
By Christine Eibner
RAND Corporation
April 4, 2008
Technical Report
Health-insurance burdens borne by employers grew substantially between 2000 and 2005, regardless of firm size. While growth was highest for small firms (<25 employees), medium-sized firms (25 to 99 employees) did not face higher growth in health-insurance burdens than larger employers did. Our results suggest that targeting health reforms that build on the employer-based system solely to large firms may be unwarranted, given that large firms do not face lower health-insurance burdens than moderately small firms do.
