Managed Healthcare Executive - January 2009 - (Page 13) New Day Managed care can take advantage of opportunities in the Obama era By Jill Wechsler and Julie Miller Illustration by Joe Kovach I ncoming Congressional leaders and the President-elect have launched a major campaign to overhaul the nation’s healthcare system, and insurers, employers and providers are reaching out to grab their piece of the opportunity. Ironically, the global economic crisis has created a situation that bodes well for U.S. healthcare reform. The high cost of expanding government programs usually stymies reform initiatives, however, strategies for reducing healthcare costs are being championed now as key to rescuing U.S. industry. Employers are desperate to reduce soaring outlays for healthcare, while record layoffs are sharply increasing the number of uninsured. Those concentric circles provide the impetus for overhauling the inefcient and inequitable U.S. healthcare system.
