Impact of Moving Older Adults from Employer Coverage to Medicare
Peterson-KFF’s recent brief “How Lowering the Medicare Eligibility Age Might Affect Employer-Sponsored Insurance Costs” explores potential percent reduction in employer health plan spending if all enrollees in age group leave large employer-sponsored coverage.
The brief found:
• Ages 60-64 would cause a 15% reduction
• Ages 55-64 would cause a 30% reduction
• Ages 50-64 would cause a 43% reduction
