Washington, district of - Colombia 45% of American adults reported getting their health insurance from an employer in January through May this year. This is down from 45.8 in 2010 and decline with Gallup and Healthways started tracking sources of health insurance in 2008.
25.3% of adults who so far in 2011 say they don't have health insurance the Government--Medicare, Medicaid or veterans/military advantage--does not change with 2010, although still much higher than in 2009 and 2008. The percentage of Uninsured Americans--who had initially increased in 2009--continues to creep up and 16.6% in 2011.
Blacks among the most likely to report decline in employer-based health promotion
Employer-based health insurance does not work in all major population groups in 2011, compared with 2008. But he has declined most among blacks (6.5 percentage points), aged 27 to 35 (6.2) and those with annual income of $ 36000 and $ 89.999 (6.1).
Several other groups also showed declines of above-average medical insurance at the level of the employer, including the Americans, who are not college educated, aged 36 and 44, low-income adults, southerners, Hispanics and men.
High and highly educated Americans, which were most likely to get their health insurance from their employers every year since 2008--were among the least likely to decrease.
However, less likely to have employer-based health insurance--the elderly, with 65 years of age eligible for Medicare and 18-26 year olds --two groups were also among the least affected by the abandonment of the health on the basis of the employer.
The bottom line
Health insurance in the United States, the problem is far from fading into the background. Currently 26 States trying to repeal the new health care law in court. At the same time, almost all States are trying to understand how to finance and implement the right amid tough economic times and Congress lawmakers debating the future of Medicare and Medicaid. The combination of these problems makes affected and how they receive their coverage more relevant than ever.
There are two main forces that impact where Americans get their health insurance: one patient protection and affordable law President Barack Obama and other high level of unemployment and underemployment. As only certain parts of the new law on health care had been carried out, the last issue appeared to be the more influential at this time with a steady decline from 2008, the percentage of Americans who get their health insurance from an employer.
