Do you know that employment-based health insurance is the only serious source of coverage for young Americans who cannot apply for Medicare? Medicare is available for the poor yet those who are not so poor can’t receive it. Studies show that between 2000 and 2004 the number of Americans younger than 65 rose by 10 million but the number of non elderly Americans covered by employment-based insurance fell by 4.9 million. This means that fewer and fewer Americans apply for employment-based health insurance though it is a necessity for many.
