Got Health Insurance?

The New York Times reports that the percentage of U.S. companies paying for their workers' health insurance is falling sharply, according to the Hay Group, a benefits consulting firm. In 2000, 29% of large and mid-size employers paid 100% of premiums for health coverage; by 2004, that figure had fallen to 17%. Companies blame rising health costs and tight business competition.
