A family's health insurance may also depend on how many members work and the extent to which coverage is extended to a worker's dependents. Moreover, its overall welfare depends on its extent of coverage on all key benefits. Unfortunately, though, there are little data, across the range of key benefits, on the family coverage which workers acquire through their involvement in this system.
