Abstract

As empresas e o trabalho organizado nos EUA têm estado historicamente envolvidos no seguro de saúde através do emprego, na ausência de um sistema de saúde universal. Este sistema de saúde baseado no emprego continua a ser a forma dominante de cobertura para os americanos hoje, embora a sua importância tenha vindo a diminuir a longo prazo. Ao longo da última década e após a aprovação da Lei de Cuidados Acessíveis, os empregadores e os sindicatos têm por vezes desafiado o sistema. Mas a convergência para um sistema universal será provavelmente um processo longo.
