Nationally, the share of private-sector employers offering (health insurance) coverage fell to about 52 percent in 2011 from 59 percent in 2000, according to the study. Insurance costs increased during the time period, with the average premium for a single employee doubling to $5,081. The average family premium rose 125 percent to $14,447, the report found.
Insurance rates varied widely from state to state, according to the report. Michigan, Indiana and South Carolina saw the steepest declines in employer-backed coverage, at about 15 percentage points each. Alaska, Massachusetts and North Dakota were the only states with stable rates, the report found. No state saw an increase.
