A central goal of The Commonwealth Fund's newly formed Task Force on the Future of Health Insurance for Working Americans is to identify and develop practical approaches to improving insurance coverage for workers and their families. To generate workable solutions for the future, such approaches must address issues of administrative complexity and efficiency, as well as public concerns about costs and insurance affordability and stability. This project will provide the Task Force with the analytic and technical capacity to compare and evaluate a range of solutions for expanding health insurance coverage of the working population.
