Consumer Drive Care Web Summit 2009:
Consumerism in the midst of Recession and Reform |
| |
- Thursday, March 19th, 2009
- 1:00 - 2:15PM Eastern
|
 |
|
OVERVIEW |
 |
 |
| A number of recent articles
and studies have indicated high deductible and account based health
plans have become increasingly attractive to embattled employers
addressing benefit strategies in a recession environment. Yet some
pundits feel consumer driven plans will be on the outside looking in as
health care reform initiatives are addressed by the new administration
and congress, and that consumerism initiatives such as transparency and
incentives may fall victim to recession driven economic pressures.
This year's Consumer Driven Web Summit
addresses current consumerism marketplace issues and solutions, along
with tackling the topic of how consumerism is positioned for the two
"R's": Recession and Reform.
Position yourself for the consumerism
in 2009 with the Eight annual Consumer Driven Web Summit. This year's
event includes a featured live webinar, additional downloadable faculty
podcasts plus supplemental features addressing consumerism in today's
environment.
