Virginia workers pay the third-highest share of their health insurance premiums in the country, following Arkansas and Idaho, according to a report by the Commonwealth Institute for Fiscal Analysis.
The report found that Virginia employees pay more than 32 percent of their premiums costs, which is 5 percent more than the national average. The number of employers providing coverage continues to fall, now at its lowest level in 20 years. From 2009-2010, about 100,000 Virginians lost health insurance through their employer.
