Survey: Nearly Half Of Employers Plan To Alter Way They Provide Health Insurance.
By
The Hartford (CT) Courant (6/20/12) reports, “A new J.D. Power and Associates survey says nearly half of employers plan to change the way they provide health insurance to workers — offering them a set amount of cash to buy their own plan rather than providing coverage and charging employees a portion of the premiums.” This “change would happen as states set up health exchanges, which are marketplaces for individuals and small groups to buy coverage, required under federal health care reform.” The Courant points out, however, that “health insurers…said Tuesday it’s unlikely that employers will veer away from employer-based health care, and even J.D. Power’s senior director for health care, Rick Millard, advised caution in interpreting the survey results.”
