Abstract
The rising cost of health care has become a serious problem for employers who provide health insurance to their workers. In this second part of a two-part Health Policy Report, Blumenthal discusses an array of strategies that employers and health-insurance companies are adopting to reduce health care costs and improve the efficiency of the nation's health care system.Keywords
