This is alarming:
The proportion of employees covered by employer-sponsored medical care plans has fallen gradually over the last decade. In March 2003, 45 percent of employees had elected coverage, down from 63 percent in 1992-3, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor.
Forty-five percent? This is the best we can do in this country? And the decline has been that great in a decade?
