Please join us on Thursday, October 12, 2006 at 1:00pm
Eastern! Employers are strongly pushing CDH accounts for
one main reason: to lower their premium trend. Insurers
are rushing into CDH accounts to drive their premiums
lower. But this ultra-low premium trend must keep slowing
-- to almost zero -- to avoid a worsening crisis in "affordability"
such as average $20,000 family premiums. That leaves a
big question: Will HSAs and HRAs be good enough to impact
the cost of health insurance across the entire U.S. market?
And will these new ultra-low CDH premiums be the new benchmark
for the old products?
