Share Article

With senior executives consistently declaring that controlling health care costs is a top concern, why haven’t they been satisfied with their efforts to do it? More senior executives, who have not previously reined in these costs, will be forced to initiate or revisit this issue.

There is no debate that health care costs have been rising every year. Given that this issue has been around for more than a decade and employers have not yet been able to make any meaningful impact, the obvious question is: What are employers doing about health care and what should they be doing to control costs?
