The New Alternatives for Employer Sponsored Affordable Health Insurance

In a recent survey by the Conference Board CEO Challenge, it was found that Human Capital is the number one challenge globally.

In the survey, it was noted that U.S. and European CEO's were concerned about finding ways to reduce their baseline costs. Additionally, U.S. CEO's said they are very averse to government interventions including health care. As organizations prepare for the open benefit enrollment period later this year, consideration should be given to the new alternatives for health insurance. Combining defined contribution programs with private insurance exchange technology could offer a way for most companies to reduce their baseline costs for employee benefits.
