Health Care Reform

As sharply rising health care premiums eat into workers' pay, young, healthy professionals are rejecting employer-sponsored insurance. Instead, they're going without coverage or finding cheaper options, saying they can't afford to be on the company plan.

Regulators are facing pressure to act in the growing disagreement over claims-data requirements.

The health insurer is also ending individual exchange plan sales and spending more on severance costs.

Self-insured employers want ideas about how to hold benefits costs down.

One solution to escalating costs might be changing how plans provide primary care.

Direct contracting between employers and health care providers can put more money in everyone's pockets.
