"Health care financed by insurance represents a major portion of the economy in America, and more than half of people with insurance are covered by their employer. For employers, approximately 30% of employee expenses go to benefits, of which health insurance is the largest component.... The major problem with this is that ESI leads to lower-quality, higher-cost health care while hurting the employer's productivity."

8 pages. Excerpt: Conclusions: Our results suggest that the programs did not reduce medical cost in their first year, despite a beneficial effect on hospital admissions. If we had been able to include program fees, it is likely that the overall cost would have increased significantly. Although this study had important limitations, the results suggest that a belief that these programs will save money may be too optimistic and better evaluation is needed.

"US hospital-based births covered by private insurance were associated with higher rates of obstetric intervention than births paid for by Medicaid. After controlling for clinical, demographic, and hospital factors, cesarean delivery rates increased more rapidly among births covered by private insurance, compared with Medicaid. Changes in insurance coverage associated with healthcare reform may impact costs and quality of care for women giving birth in US hospitals."

9 pages.

"The migration of care from inpatient (IP) to outpatient (OP) and ambulatory surgery center (ASC) settings ... is good news for consumers and employers as it promises to lower costs, improve access and convenience, and, if done right, deliver better outcomes. Payers who can accelerate this change can deliver better value and gain competitive advantage. But a strategic approach is needed to avoid antagonizing key stakeholders."
