Under The Influence: Employer-Based Health Care 'Not Sustainable' http://undertheinfluence.nationaljournal.com/2009/06/employer-based-health-care-not.php?rss=1 en Copyright 2011 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 21:27:28 GMT http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/ http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Employer-Based Health Care 'Not Sustainable' In a new survey released by Zogby International today, over 60 percent of business executives said that the employer-based health care-system is not sustainable in the long term. The Committee for Economic Development (CED), a non-profit business-led public policy organization, commissioned the poll. Administered from June 1 through June 12, the poll surveyed senior level executives' attitudes on healthcare and health insurance.

Among the findings, 60.3 percent of respondents support a market-based system of competing plans--similar to coverage offered to lawmakers where the government organizes a menu of private insurance plans from which each may choose. Support for the kind of health coverage the government offers is a clear change from the status quo, says the CED.

"According to the best data we have been able to find, more than 77 percent of all private employees who have health insurance have no choice about their health insurance carrier," said Joseph J. Minarik, Senior Vice President and Director of Research for CED, "In other words, there is no competition."

He added that employers would like to offer their employees more health care options than are currently available.

Additional health care options is really good idea of employers for the health benefit of theire hard-working employees.
