“For the record, C-suite executives are actively engaged in reducing health care costs in the US, not by what they consider penny ante changes in plan design, but by replacing workers with robots and automation, self checkout machines, push button ordering in restaurants and drive thru food serves, etc etc etc. That not only cuts benefit costs but wages, workers comp, payroll taxes, sick leave, life insurance, training, on and on. This is not to mention the rush to send US jobs to India and Mexico. That’s how the c-suite is engaged.” – Tom Emerick (www.emerickconsulting.com)
