More Americans are turning to individual health insurance policies because for many of them the government is paying for most of it.
“For many of the almost 50 million people working for the 3.2 million smaller companies in America, family coverage is no longer affordable.
It is likely to be prohibitive for the really small companies, the pizza shop, the dry cleaners, or the bakery. On average, workers at these firms have fewer resources to cover health costs: Salaries at firms of less than 200 employees are $44,600 on average compared to $63,200 for workers at larger firms.”
