Cost Issues #1 Reason Small Business Does Not Offer Health Insurance
By Jim Van Wyck | October 22, 2008
Fifty-nine percent of employers that do not offer health insurance to
employees would not pay more than $50 monthly per worker for coverage,
and only 10% would pay at least $200 monthly, according to a survey
released recently by benefits consulting firm Mercer, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
reports. The survey included responses from more than 3,400 employers,
545 of which did not offer health insurance to e
mployees.
According
to the survey, 43% of employers that did not offer health insurance to
employees cited cost issues. Other employers that did not offer health
insurance to employees cited turnover among workers and the belief
employees would prefer higher wages to coverage, the survey found
(Boulton, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 10/21). The survey
found that about half of employers disagree with “pay or play”
requirements, under which employers must offer health insurance to
employees or pay into a public fund to provide coverage (Fuhrmans, “Health Blog,” Wall Street Journal, 10/21). Thirty-one percent of employers support such requirements, and 19% have no opinion, according to the survey.
About
29% of employers support single-payer health insurance, and 31% support
proposals to replace an income tax break for employees who receive
health insurance from employers with a tax credit to purchase coverage,
the survey found. In addition, about 46% of employers support federal
reimbursement of employer health insurance costs that exceed a certain
level, according to the survey (Spors, “Independent Street,” Wall Street Journal, 10/21).
Linda
Havlin, a partner at Mercer, said, “The facts speak for themselves here
– not only are they not providing coverage but they are more likely to
drop coverage” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 10/21).
