What Will Health Reform Mean for American Employers and Their Employees? Video

Fri, 28 Sep 2012 23:11:11 GMT

Michael Thompson, PwC Human Resources Principal, discusses what health reform will mean for American employers and their employees. There will be no one-size fits all solution for American businesses, Thompson argues. Depending on their size and state, different employers may opt to allow their employees to avail themselves of the new state-based health exchanges, or they may take the new subsidies provided for in the ACA and cover their employees. The new focus will be on value, including evidence-focused care, as opposed to the old model of fee for service. Ultimately, Thompson believes, once they are not sheltered from the cost, consumers will drive the choice, and that augurs well for quality of care and eventually, lower costs. (July 11, 2012)
