Abstract:
Once regarded as stable and dependable, employer-sponsored insurance no longer addresses the needs of many workers in a changing labor market. Private ownership would guarantee portability of coverage, ensure the critical continuity of care, promote mobility in employment, and allow persons to get off public programs without the drastic penalty of losing their health coverage.
