On the Demise of Employer-Based Health Insurance

Via Mother Jones, the above chart from the National Institute for Health Care Reform graphically records the decline in employer-based health insurance for the non-elderly working age population.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading this article. Appreciate this news for decline in employer-based health insurance for the non-elderly working age population. In old age medical requirement increase and if government spend tax income on their health issues so we have to cut down other government sector budget.I have seen last week many health articles on this issue so I decided to share my views.

I think the pain of the decline of employer-based health insurance is that there are few good alternatives. However, I think ultimately health care insurance and health care in all greater senses should be removed from the control of employers.
