A 2007 analysis of Census Bureau data shows that "with respect to age, among workers not covered by their own employer's health plan, older workers were more likely than younger workers to have declined coverage, while younger workers were more likely than older ones to be not eligible for health benefits and to work for an employer that does not sponsor a health plan." (p. 19, Fig. 17 on p. 20)
