    This document outlines a study to be conducted by the Commissioner on employer health care markets. The study will examine the types of employers that purchase insured products versus those that self-insure, the differences between typical insured and self-insured health plans, the financial solvency of self-insured employers by size, the risk of self-insured employers becoming financially insolvent, and the extent to which rating rules may cause adverse selection or encourage small/mid-size employers to self-insure. The Commissioner must submit a report on the study's findings and recommendations to Congress within 18 months.
