This conference took place on March 6,
2003, but you may order the CD recording of it.
The meteoric rise in healthcare costs over the last several years shows no signs of abating in 2003. All the major consulting firms predict double-digit increases in healthcare premiums and point to a variety of culprits to blame.
The quest by both managed care plans and employers to pare costs of doing business will be a major focus in 2003. Managed care companies will look for any possible ways to tweak more savings out of the healthcare equation.
One of the major trends in 2003 will include a shift in consumer behavior. Consumers will begin to educate themselves about the true cost of healthcare, and employers will shift more of the costs to their workers.
