How Much Does Health Insurance Cost? Comparison of Premiums in Administrative and Survey Data
Using newly available administrative data from the IRS, this paper studies the distribution of employer-sponsored health insurance premiums. Previous estimates, in contrast, were almost exclusively from household surveys. After correcting for coverage limitations of IRS data, we find average premiums for employer-sponsored plans are roughly $1,000 higher in IRS records than in the Current Population Survey. The downward bias in the CPS results from underestimating premiums of married workers and topcoding of high premiums.
