WASHINGTON, Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Employment-based health coverage is the dominant source of U.S. health insurance, but it has been steadily shrinking since 2000, a non-partisan group says.
Paul Fronstin of the Employee Benefit Research Institute in Washington said the analysis found the percentage of the non-elderly population age 65 and under with health insurance coverage increased to 82 percent in 2011 -- up about one-half a percentage point from 2010 -- notable because increases in health insurance coverage increased only three times since 1994.
