The number of Pennsylvanians with employer-paid health insurance fell by 4.1% between 2000 and 2004, a new study reports.[@@]
That means there are almost 500,000 fewer Pennsylvanians receiving health care insurance through their employers, according to the Keystone Research Center, Harrisburg, Pa., and the Economic Policy Institute, Washington, which did the study.
Of Americans who lost employer-provided coverage in that period, 1.9% lived in Pennsylvania, the study concludes.
