Employment-Based Health Benefits And Public-Sector Coverage: Opportunity For Leadership

In this commentary, Helen Darling, speaking from the large-employer perspective, responds to James Robinson’s paper on the mature health insurance industry, which faces declining opportunities with employer-based health benefits and growing but less appealing public-sector opportunities for management and other services. The similar needs of public and private employers and payers provide an opportunity for leadership, accelerating innovation and using value-added services to improve safety, quality, and efficiency of health care for all.
