An increasing number of families and individuals are losing their health insurance. The problem has been exacerbated by the recession. © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Health Insurance Let’s examine the topic of health insurance: –How it works –What are the problems –What we are doing about these problems © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

How Do Most Americans Under Age 65 Obtain Health Insurance? © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Employer-Sponsored Insurance History: –WWII: health insurance was a fringe benefit from large employers (>200 workers) –1960s-70s: small & medium-sized employers (3-199 workers) also began to offer health insurance –1980s: high costs caused small & medium employers to drop out © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Employer-Sponsored Insurance –Today: less than 60% of small and medium employers offer insurance; large employers are cutting back on the scope of benefits Fewer covered services, more cost-sharing by employees © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Percent of Firms Offering Health Benefits, by Firm Size © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Why This Strategy of Linking Employment with Insurance? By accident! Wage and price controls were in effect during WWII, so employers offered health insurance. But the relationship between employers and insurance has stuck and now is part of our culture. Other countries think that we are very odd! © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Employer-sponsored Insurance is Now Subsidized by U.S. Tax System Health insurance premiums are deducted before payroll taxes. The self-employed can deduct all premium costs. People with health expenses > 7.5% of income can deduct premiums on their tax returns. © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Employer-sponsored Insurance is Now Subsidized by U.S. Tax System But because of the cost, many small and medium size firms are backing out altogether,… –Or forcing employees to pick up a larger share of the costs via higher premiums, deductibles, or co-payments. © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Today Many People Are Uninsured In 2009, 51 million Americans (17% of population; 19% of population under 65) lacked health insurance of any kind. –Primary reasons: (1) can’t get it through employer (2) too expensive to buy on their own ($14,000/family policy) (3) have a pre-existing condition and cannot buy it © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Barriers to Health Care by Insurance Status Percent experiencing in last 12 months, 2009 © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

How Do the Uninsured Pay for Care? 40% paid out-of-pocket themselves. 60% received some “uncompensated care” (about $50 billion), of which 80% is paid by government sources. –But increasingly, providers are not reimbursed with public dollars. As a result, providers are unwilling to care for the uninsured. The uninsured are being asked to pay up- front before services are delivered. © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.

What Should We Do about the Growing Problem of the Uninsured? The answer to this question has become very politicized. A few years ago, most people wanted some type of health reform. © 2015, 2012 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.
