Health care reform in the United States

Article Abstract:

Health care reform is a major concern for US companies given the skyrocketing costs of medical care. In 1996, the average annual cost of health care benefits per employee is placed at around $4,000. Universal health care reform has been abandoned by the Clinton administration, but incremental reforms continue. Employers themselves are pursuing cost management initiatives, such as promoting self-insurance of health care benefit plans and consolidating funding of plans operated by multiple operations.
