Businesses spend billions on health insurance. And what do they get for their money ? A lot of unhappy employees. Workers fret about the quality of the care they receive, the burden of their out - of -pocket expenses, and the gaps in their coverage. For businesses, health care has become a lose - lose proposition : They pay way too much, and they get way too little. The problem is that the health care industry has been shielded from consumer pressure - by employers, insurers, and the government. As a result, costs have exploded even as choices have narrowed. But if companies embrace a new model of health coverage - one that places control over both costs and care directly into the hands of employees - the competitive forces that spur productivity and innovation in consumer markets can be loosed upon the inefficient, tradition - bound health care system. Moving to consumer - driven health care requires that companies revamp their health benefits in six ways : Give employees incentives to shop intelligently ; offer a real choice of insurance plans ; charge employees prices that accurately reflect the company's costs ; let providers set their own price ; adjust payments for each enrollee based on need ; and provide relevant information.
