Health insurance and employment: A complicated relationship
The Nation's Health Podcast by The American Public Health Association
Episode notes
The U.S. is an outlier among high-income countries when it comes to health insurance. Rather than relying on a public system, employer-sponsored insurance is the nation's largest source of health coverage. What does that mean for workers, employers and public health? Host Sophia Meador talks with KFF's Matt Rae, MPH, MPA, about the costs, tradeoffs and history behind employer-sponsored insurance.
