CDHP movement gains ground
There was a victory for low premium, high deductible health plans (CDHPs) this weekend as Target announced steps to make employees responsible for health costs. The Minneapolis-based retailer also said it is considering doing away with employee-based insurance. The retailer enters a fray occupied by large employers from Wal-Mart to General Motors. Is the move a symbolic win for fans of CDHPs? Perhaps so. It also may serve as a rallying cry for supporters of traditional employer-based insurance or alternatives like the Romney plan. Expect controversy and plenty of mudslinging between the two sides over the next few weeks.
