Business' pivotal role in health care reform

Article Abstract:

The business community should assume leadership of the US health care reform movement. Business can help the health care industry cut costs by supporting managed care plans that emphasize preventive medicine and health maintenance. Generous financing of medical research is necessary to ensure continual improvements in health care and the treatment of disease. The business community must also work to eliminate disabling and disease-causing elements from the environment, and help their employees avoid or stop unhealthy behaviors.
