It's just like talking to me. Getting past this impasse is vital. With the demand for good employees being very high because of the booming economy, there is little incentive for employers to worry about contracting for health care services. If the economy slows down, profits and productivity decline at a time when health care costs start to rise, there may be more incentives for employers to begin to look at different ways of doing things. But one thing is for sure, this is the time to start building bridges and identifying possible partners.
Major changes are on the horizon.
