Health Care Reform Is Here: It's Called "Consumerism"

Event Details:
The health care reform bill under debate on Capitol Hill is still years away from having an impact, but real reform is already well underway – it’s called “Consumerism.” Consumerism - in which consumers take personal responsibility for their health purchases rather than perpetuating the “blank check” mentality - may be the key to capping soaring health care costs and offers a powerful alternative to government-run solutions.

Topics of discussion will include:

• Trends in consumerism and the growth of HSA’s and HRA's
• The true economic impact of account-based plans vs. traditional PPO’s and HMO’s
• Challenges employers and employees face in transitioning to a Consumerism model
• Best tools for administering account-based plans and educating employees

Speaker Panel:

• Jay Savan, Principal, Towers Perrin
• Steve Neeleman, MD, CEO, HealthEquity
• Ray Seaver, Executive Vice President, bswift
