Americans continue to be satisfied with employer-sponsored coverage

A new national survey commissioned by AHIP finds American workers hold consistently positive views of employer-sponsored health coverage, with nearly 9 in 10 expressing satisfaction with their plans and a decisive 96% valuing the financial security their coverage provides.

Workers view employer-provided coverage as integral to their employment decisions, with 68% ranking health insurance as their top workplace benefit and 85% saying they would consider leaving their job if their employer no longer offered health insurance. The survey also highlights that employer-provided coverage provides effective access to care and needed services, with 81% reporting access to telehealth services and 79% reporting access to mental health services through their employer-provided plans.

83% agreed that employer-sponsored health insurance should remain tax-exempt to protect working families. “These findings confirm once again that Americans strongly value their employer-provided health coverage and want policymakers to support the longstanding partnership between employers and health plans,” said AHIP president and CEO Mike Tuffin.
