Abstract
The clamor, by purchasers of health care services, to control escalating health care costs, continues. Business is becoming more involved in the health care debate as the costs consume an ever increasing percentage of after-tax dollars. Labor recognizes that salary adjustments and other benefits are impacted by the increasing number of dollars spent for health care. The federal government continues to experiment with delivery systems, as well as payment alternatives, and has proposed modifications to tax laws to provide some predictability for the burgeoning federal budget for health care.
