A 2007 analysis of Census Bureau data shows that "in 2005, 63.1 percent of workers [under the age of 65] were covered by an employment-based health plan from their own employer, 14.9 percent had coverage through an employer as a dependent, and 17 percent were uninsured. Among workers eligible for health benefits, 84.2 percent were covered by their employer, 9.8 percent had coverage through an employer as a dependent, and 4.8 percent were uninsured." (p. 1)
