CHIA has published findings from the 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘁𝘀 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘆 (𝗠𝗘𝗦). Among other findings, results show that most Massachusetts firms (67%) offered health insurance to their employees in 2024, a higher rate than firms nationally (54%)—but Massachusetts employees also paid higher premiums than the national average. The MES is a statewide survey that asks a representative sample of Massachusetts employers to share their experiences and challenges offering health insurance and related benefits to their employees. The survey provides valuable insights into the employer health insurance landscape, including information on employer health insurance offerings, employee take-up rates, health insurance premiums, employer contribution amounts, plan characteristics, and employer decision-making.
