BenefitsPro: Businesses must be solution to health crisis

NBCH CEO Brian Klepper was a keynote at the recent Human Resource Executive Health and Benefits Leadership Conference.

Covering the conference for BenefitsPro, Kathryn Mayer wrote an article summarizing Klepper's comments which can be found here.

Brian Klepper doesn't just think the nation's health care system is flawed; he thinks it's broken.

But the good news, he said, is there is a solution: businesses. 

Klepper urged benefits managers to meet with their C-suite, talk about just how serious the health care problem is, and band together to take action to fight the health care industry and rein in exorbitant costs.

"The most important people in saving health care and saving America is businesses," he said.
