While regulatory changes dominate the benefits landscape, health care trend has continued to rise with little end in sight. The healthcare industry is still highly inefficient and consumer-based approaches have done little to increase transparency. New network models that promise to fundamentally reform the health care industry with value-driven, coordinated care are still provider driven with employers and consumers as their unwilling passengers.
