72% of workers received employment-based coverage in March

The percentage of employees with employment-based health insurance has remained steady since key provisions to the Affordable Care Act took effect, Business Insurance reported.

The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Urban Institute-funded analysis found 72.1 percent of employees in March received employment-based health insurance, compared to 70.8 percent in June 2013.

Percentages by company size showed little change as well. Fifty percent of workers in organizations with fewer than 50 employees received employment-based coverage in March, up from 49.4 percent in June 2013. In organizations with 50 or more employees, 83.6 percent of workers had employment-based coverage, up from 82.5 percent in June 2013.
