Employment-based Health Insurance

The overwhelming majority of L.A. County’s uninsured are workers and their family members. Three out of four L.A. County residents who are uninsured for all or part of the year are in families with at least one working adult. Unfortunately, most employees do not have access to affordable job-based insurance, as coverage rates are dropping. A smaller proportion of county residents have employer-based coverage, as compared to all Californians. Employers cite high costs of premiums as the primary reason for not offering health benefits, with an increasing portion being passed on to the employee.
