HCFO Releases a New Issue Brief

In an effort to explore the problems inherent in predicting the impact of proposed health insurance market reforms, AcademyHealth conducted a special meeting to identify key questions about the impact of health care reform on employers and their workforce, as well as the data necessary to answer those questions. The meeting was supported under the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Changes in Health Care Financing and Organization (HCFO) initiative and is part of a larger health reform initiative conducted by HCFO to build the research base and expert capacity to assist policymakers in tackling key topics likely to emerge during the upcoming debates about health care reform. The issue brief, “Insurance Choices: Behaviors of Firms and Their Workforces,” identifies the key questions policymakers will need to answer when predicting firm and workforce behavior as well as the data available and needed to answer these questions.
