12/26/2007: Consumer-Driven Plans Growing More Popular, but Small Businesses Still See Price As Hurdle (The Business Journal of the Greater Triad Area via bizjournals.com; free registration required)
Excerpt: "Faced with skyrocketing health insurance costs, Bobby Casey decided four years ago to eliminate companywide insurance for the 20 employees at Diamond Retail Services in Stokesdale. But Casey, the president and CEO of a company that assembles and installs equipment for retailers, still wanted to help his employees somehow with health costs. So today, he encourages them to purchase their own insurance by reimbursing 50 percent of the cost of their policies."
