Employers consider insurance pools
By Julie Appleby, USA TODAY
Millions of Americans work for companies that provide health insurance but don't qualify for it because they are part-time or contract workers.
On Monday, 45 of the nation's largest employers, including IBM (IBM), Sears Roebuck (S), Ford Motor (F), Gap (GPS), Home Depot (HD) and Textron (TXT), will unveil a possible solution — pooling all of their uninsured workers, then seeking an insurer willing to offer them a variety of health policies at prices lower than the workers could get individually.
