Employment-based Health Insurance

In the last decade we have seen a rise in problems with America's traditional employment-based health insurance, including rising cost of business (Ford pays more for health care per car than for steel), trouble for small businesses, loss of job mobility, and a perverse incentive for employers to choose health plans not best suited to the needs of their employees. Some of the articles below touch on the debate over these issues, but they only represent a small proportion of the wealth of information available on this topic.
