New data on participation in and access to health care benefits allow for the study of the correlation between health care cost and health plan participation. This article compares this correlation between two occupational groups: management, professional, and related workers and service workers. Although participation is a significant factor in determining the estimates of average employer costs for health care benefits, other factors, such as annual hours worked, mix of jobs and industries, and the percentage paid by the employer can also have substantial effects.
