debate—will come down to the president's approaching
health plans with the following criteria in mind.

Offer Rates for Smaller Establishments by Business Age |

Kaiser Family Foundation
May 6, 2008
Employer-provided health insurance is the primary
source of insurance coverage in the United States,
covering almost 160 million people or more than 90
percent of the non-elderly privately-insured
population. In recent years, the percentage of firms
who offer such benefits has been falling; 69 percent
offered health coverage benefits in 2000, whereas 60
percent did the same in 2007. Since employers are not
required to offer health benefits to their employees,
changes in the rate at which they offer such benefits
are important for understanding the number of people
covered by private insurance. Having access to
work-place health insurance is a key determinant of
whether or not a person has private coverage.
