Abstract
This primer provides a basic overview of private coverage for health care. It begins by describing what we mean by private health coverage, and continues with discussions of the types of organizations that provide it, its key attributes, and how it is regulated. The paper addresses private health coverage purchased by individuals and employers; it does not address public benefit programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
