Should We Care About The John Edwards Sex Tape? – Conor Clarke

So, one’s chances of being offered employer-sponsored insurance (ESI) increase fairly steadily with income. And note, in particular, the difference between those offered and those covered with a less than 10% effective tax rate. Just 35% percent of those workers receive any health tax benefits. This suggests that, even with the tax benefit, many low income families choose not to or cannot buy coverage.
(One final note: This chart shows only who is offered and receives coverage, not the value of that coverage. It would surprise exactly no one to know that, in addition to receiving coverage more frequently, wealthy taxpayers also receive coverage that is more valuable. I don’t know where to find that data. All of the above numbers are drawn from the wonderful Tax Policy Center.
