3 thoughts on “Workers, employees likely to see another stiff increase in health benefits

  1. How much of the healthcare dollar goes to the Health Benefit Brokers who ration the services? My bet is that it is significant, in the 10-20% range, and growing, and neither those in need of care nor the caregivers are happy with the results.

  2. There are more cost effective treatments, even cures, in other developed countries which aren’t allowed in US. Without tackling Big Pharma and rotating door between gvmt agencies and pharma, there’s no answer to utilizing these options or slowing soaring prescription costs. Not a partisan issue as both parties benefit greatly from pharma. Big Pharma is so entrenched in the FDA, NIH, and Capitol Hill that it’s almost untouchable except for a select few that Medicare has singled out.
