SBA - Changes in Family Health Insurance Coverage for Small and Large Firm Workers and Dependents

April 4, 2008

Access to and affordability of health insurance offered by business owners to employees continue to be of great concern. According to the National Federation of Independent Business, the cost of employer-sponsored health insurance is the most pressing problem affecting the provision of health insurance for small business owners.

The objective of this study is to determine whether the decline in family health insurance coverage at large firms has increased financial pressure on plans sponsored by small firms. The study addresses family health insurance coverage from the worker’s perspective.
