Health Econ in the NYT

New York Times has an article all about high-deductible health plans, one of our favorite topics from health economics!

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/15/business/15insure.html?pagewanted=1&ref=health

The gist is that in a time of rising health care costs and the general economic downturn, employers are more often offering these consumer directed health plans as the only health benefits choice for their workers.

The article interviews David Lee, and executive from the Pacific Business Group for Health, an employer coalition that provides consultation on health care. They are based in San Francisco and I was able to do an informational interview there.
