Proposals to control health care costs and provide broader access to health care services dominate the domestic policy agenda. Most workers who are covered by health insurance receive these benefits through their employer.
An analysis of Current Population Survey data show a decline in the likelihood that married men in the prime working ages--between 25 and 55--would have health care benefits provided by the employer.

These trends substantially widened the gap in coverage between age and education groups.
