Take Control Now

The ongoing healthcare debate in America is loud, divisive, in-your-face—and not accomplishing anything.  While Congress debates the merits of a public option, the cold, hard fact is that no change will occur until 2014 at the earliest.  America needs healthcare reform now—and it starts with employers.  Employer premiums are skyrocketing with no sign of slowing down, and businesses are addressing these costs by passing more of the cost onto their employees or cutting benefits wholesale.

The solution lies in employers taking control of employee healthcare data and using this information to address underlying health concerns before they become a problem.  But insurance carriers and other vendors, the same conglomerates stalemating the healthcare reform discussion in Congress, don’t want employers to have this information—it means less control for them and less money in their ever-fattening wallets.

This blog, Take Control Now, will explain why healthcare data is so important to employers and employees alike and provide a fresh take on the healthcare debate.  Look to us for stories of employers who simply got fed up with the system and took control of their healthcare plans, the need for data, the battle over healthcare reform and insight into healthcare issues for both workers and employers.

 Your healthcare costs have been running wild for far too long—don’t you think it’s time you took control?
