Demographic change in a corporate health benefits population, 1983-87

American Journal of Public Health, 1989, vol. 79, issue 12, 1655-1656

Abstract: This paper describes changes in the population for which General Motors provide health benefits using data from domestic personnel records. Total population size grew from 2.01 million in 1983 to 2.14 million in 9187, twice as fast as the US population. Dependents, particularly spouses, fueled the population growth. Trends suggest that nonworker eligibility for employer-provided health benefits may receive more attention in health care cost containment efforts.
