Answer to Question 1

1. The wage an employer pays employees is taxable income to the employees but the money an employer spends to buy health insurance for employees is not taxable.
2. Insurance companies are typically willing to charge lower premiums for group insurance, particularly to large employers, because risk pooling is improved and adverse selection and moral hazard problems are lower when compared with individual policies.

Answer to Question 2

C
