47% of Firms With 3-9 Workers Offered Health Coverage in 2015


The Kaiser Family Foundation recently conducted a study on health insurance coverage offerings in large and small businesses. Here are some key findings from the report:

·         Small firms employ 30% of workers who receive health insurance through their own job.

·         Of firms with 3-199 employees, 56% offer health insurance to some of their employees.

·         98% of firms with 200 or more employees offer health insurance to some employees.

·         Of firms with 3-9 workers, 47% offered coverage in 2015.

·         41% of small firms not offering coverage indicated cost as the primary reason.

·         Small firms(18%) are less likely to offer health benefits to part-time workers than are large firms(35%).
