BOSTON - Three years into Massachusetts' experiment with near-universal health care, the vast majority of residents are still obtaining insurance through work.
A new survey of nearly 5,000 households found seven out of ten residents got insurance through their jobs in 2009, virtually the same as 2008.
When lawmakers debated the law, critics worried state-subsidized plans for lower-income residents would lead some employers to stop offering coverage.
The telephone, Internet and mail survey, conducted between March and June by the Urban Institute, found more than 97 percent of state residents are now insured. The margin of error was plus or minus 1.5 percentage points.
Hispanics remain the group with the highest percentage uninsured, more than 5 percent.
The health care law requires the state to conduct the annual survey.
