title: Why small businesses don't have health insurance: results of a Florida survey.
abstract: While most of the insured population has health insurance under an employer-sponsored group plan, the majority of the working uninsured are employed by small firms. Increasing the number of small firms that provide health insurance plans to their employees is important for decreasing the number of uninsured. This article summarizes the results of a survey designed to study characteristics of the firms that do not have health insurance, the obstacles to their getting insurance, and small business owners' interest in having a group health plan.
