"Comcast spends about $5,800 per person enrolled in its health plan. That number ... [is] just a hair above average employer spending. What's truly eye-popping are two things Comcast gets for its money: [1] Incredibly low employee cost-sharing. Employees only pay a $250 deductible on their care, compared to a $1,500 industry average. [2] Nearly flat cost growth.... Where other large employers see 3% year-over-year healthcare cost growth, Comcast's spending only goes up 1%. Clearly, Comcast is doing something right."

"Nobody knows what this new alliance might bring. The best way to suss out Buffet, Bezos, and Dimon's intentions might be to take a look at what their companies could contribute to the cause. It's clear enough what JP Morgan and Berkshire bring to the table. Aside from a certain old-guard capitalist respectability, both companies have healthy revenues, and expertise in finance and insurance. What really gets us wondering is -- how will Amazon lend its weight?"

Infographic. "[W]hen healthcare consumers who need surgery start their research of potential hospitals or surgeons, they are bombarded with confusing amounts of ratings, 'best of' lists, and hoards of big data. When it comes to patient reviews, can you trust an anonymous Yelper to guide you to a quality surgeon?
