State-Level Trends in Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance, 2019-2021

This narrative provides an overview of the 2021 MEPS-IC private-sector ESI estimates, covering changes in market composition, ESI access, and cost. Because changes in the labor market caused by COVID-19 likely had a large influence on measures of ESI access in 2020, the analysis of ESI access compares 2021 estimates against a pre-pandemic baseline of 2019. However, the pandemic likely had a smaller impact on long-running cost trends, so the analysis of ESI costs compares 2021 estimates against 2020.
