New Report Documents Disparities In Workers’ Health Care Coverage
As Congressional Republicans weigh major cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a new research paper reveals troubling disparities in how workers obtain health insurance in the United States.
The new paper from the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) – A Complicated Maze: How Workers Navigate the US Health Care System – finds major gaps in the availability of employer-based insurance. The complicated public and private system that attempts to fill those gaps, however, falls short of providing universal coverage – and Congress is considering changes that threaten to end coverage for millions of workers.
