Gallup: Employer-Based Health Insurance Continues to Decline

In Jan. 2008, Gallup reported 49.8 percent of adults 18 and older received health coverage through their employer, and that number has declined almost every quarter since.

Gallup initially attributed the decline to increases in unemployment and underemployment, but other factors could also be contributing to the trend, such as fewer employers offering health insurance.
