In 2005, almost one-quarter of employees in establishments with health insurance worked in firms that offered at least one plan where the employer required no employee contribution to the health insurance premium for at least one plan with single coverage. This Statistical Brief presents estimates of offer rates and enrollment in employer-sponsored health insurance plans requiring no employee contribution in the ten most populous states in 2005. The availability of such plans varies considerably by state and firm size, among other factors. State variations from the national average are discussed. The estimates shown in this brief, which are drawn from the Insurance Component of the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS-IC), look at both single and family coverage in the private sector of the economy. In addition to all firms, estimates for employees working for small (less than 50 employees) and large (50 or more employees) firms are shown. All differences between estimates discussed in the text are statistically significant at the 0.05 level. 606 $aEmployer-sponsored health insurance$zUnited States 606 $aHealth insurance 615 0$aEmployer-sponsored health insurance 615 0$aHealth insurance. 700 $aTaylor$b Amy K$01391008 701 $aCrimmel$b Beth Levin$01391004 712 02$aUnited States.$bAgency for Healthcare Research and Quality. 712 02$aMedical Expenditure Panel Survey (U.S.) 801 0$bVVK 801 1$bVVK 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910697576303321 996 $aState differences in offer rates and enrollment in employer-sponsored health insurance plans that required no employee contribution to the premium cost, 2005$93444269 997 $aUNINA
