The Commonwealth Fund Task Force on the Future of Health Insurance is exploring ways to extend health insurance coverage to uninsured working Americans and their families. This grant will provide continued technical and analytical support to the Task Force as it assesses policy options and patterns of health insurance coverage over time. In the year ahead, the project will produce several analytic papers on emerging trends in health insurance coverage while continuing to provide the Task Force with the capacity to evaluate the costs and coverage potential of new insurance expansion proposals for U.S. workers.
