10/8/2008: Economic Turbulence Is Raising Concerns About Health Care Costs (Workforce Management; free registration required)
Excerpt: "The economic downturn has heightened concerns about rising health care costs, making employees more aware of how they consume health care, according to a survey published Tuesday, October 7, by the Employee Benefit Research Institute. Though Americans said they remain confident they will be able to get the treatment they need, general economic woes have heightened people's concerns about health care cost increases, said Paul Fronstin, director of health research and education at EBRI in Washington."
