Approximately 86 million U.S. workers receive health insurance directly through their own employer. When spouses and children are included, employer-sponsored insurance covers 157 million people under age 65.
71% of those workers and family are enrolled in self-insured (self-funded) plans.
Those plans not using insurance deal with the same cost issues as anyone insured.
Americans want the best care, the latest technology and drugs available, and they want easy and quick access. They don’t want a third party involved in their care.
