Abstract:
Defined care, based on the use of a defined contribution by employers rather than a defined health benefit, would put the power of the people to work--enabling employees to choose their own health plans, based on personal values, price, and insurance needs. What does this really mean? Are employers moving towards this concept today? The author, a proponent of defined contribution plans, answers some of the crucial questions involving this trend.
