Employer-Sponsored Insurance Stable For Low-Income Workers In Medicaid Expansion States.

Abstract

We assessed rates of employer health insurance offer, take-up, and coverage in June2013 and March2017 among workers. Overall, offer rates remained stable, and take-up and coverage rates increased. In Medicaid expansion states, the share of workers with family incomes at or below 138percent of the federal poverty level who had employer-based coverage held steady, while uninsurance rates declined.
