Hewitt, National Business Group on Health Survey Shows Most U.S. Workers Will ... MarketWatch (press release)
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., May 24, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- A majority of U.S. workers plan to rely on their employer-provided health care coverage now and in the future, according to a survey of more than 3,000 American workers and their dependents, conducted jointly by the National Business Group on Health and Hewitt Associates. However, more than one-third would consider dropping their employer-provided health insurance if they become eligible to purchase similar coverage through other avenues.
The survey, conducted in March 2010, found that the majority of Americans (61 percent) currently use employer-sponsored health care coverage as medical needs arise and participate in healthy living/wellness programs. Nearly half (47 percent) plan to continue to do so in the next three-to-five years. However, more than one-third (35 percent) would consider dropping employer coverage if they were eligible to purchase similar coverage for a lower cost in the marketplace.
So you have made the decision to get a small business group health insurance policy so that you and your employees have the medical insurance coverage that is needed. After careful consideration you realize that offering an employee health insurance policy is a great way to attract and retail the best employees. Now comes the fun part – figuring out which of the small business health insurance plans is the best fit for you and your company.![US health care: Reform talk must ease fears Denver Post]("http://nt1.ggpht.com/news/tbn/se98PZLnwr2dCM/6.jpg")
