Study estimates employee-based coverage losses since June
An estimated 7.7 million workers lost jobs with employer-sponsored health insurance between February and June during the pandemic, released this week by the Employee Benefit Research Institute, W.E.
Upjohn Institute for Employment Research and Commonwealth Fund. The authors estimate another 6.9 million dependents had coverage through these workers, potentially resulting in an 8% total reduction in employer-sponsored insurance. They said the coverage losses disproportionately affected workers in manufacturing, aged 35-54 and women.
