Overview
Private sector efforts alone are not enough to help small companies provide health insurance for their workers. In this study supported by The Commonwealth Fund, policy analysts find that purchasing cooperatives and other programs initiated by business coalitions over the last decade have had only limited success in making insurance more affordable to small business employees. To be successful, they say, these programs will require federal and state support in the form of seed money, expertise, regulatory reform, and help in defraying high-cost insurance claims.
