abstract: 'We examined the complex relationship among work, health, and health

  insurance, which has been affected by changing demographics and

  employment conditions in the United States. Stagnation or deterioration

  in employment conditions and wages for much of the workforce has been

  accompanied by the erosion of health outcomes and employer-sponsored

  insurance coverage. In this article we present data and discuss the

  research that has established these links, and we assess the potential

  impact of policy responses to the evolving landscape of work and health.

  The expansion of insurance availability under the Affordable Care Act

  may have helped reduce the burden on employers to provide health

  insurance. However, the act''s encouragement of wellness programs has

  uncertain potential to help contain the rising costs of

  employer-sponsored health benefits.'
