Health Reform - EBRI Facts on Benefit Issues

Employee Benefit Research Institute has, on its website, a brief on "Facts on Benefits Issues" to help educate the public about many of the statistics used in the health reform debate.

The topics covered:

• the uninsured,
  
• coverage trends,
  
• factors affecting coverage,
• public opinion: health care costs,
• Medicare, and
  
• tax treatment of health care benefits

Also included is a section on various retirement issues that may be affected by reform legislation.

All answers are derived from studies conducted by EBRI, a nonpartisan research organization that does not lobby and does not take positions on policy issues.
