An analysis of data from the 2004 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey showed that "for retirees age 65 and over, from 1998 to 2002, among firms with less than 50 employees, the availability of retiree coverage declined from 5.6 percent to 2.1 percent. Among firms with 100 to 999 employees, the decrease was from 18.7 percent to 9.2 percent. Among firms with 1,000 or more employees, the decrease (from 41.2 percent to 41.1 percent) was not significant." (p. 6)
