Quote of the Day: Drew Altman

Drew Altman, chief executive of the Kaiser Family Foundation, referring to the continued shift to consumer-directed heatlhcare plans. 

Conservatives rail about Obamacare, but they may be winning more than they are losing; it is their vision of insurance with more “skin in the game” that is gradually taking over the marketplace because employers have no other way to control costs.

Kaiser’s latest research shows that approximately 17% of covered employees were in high-deductible health plans with a savings option in 2011, compared to 13% in 2010 and just 8% in 2009.
