I agree with Jasper, HRAs and MERPs are some cost solutions for employers and employees, but not all brokers are versed enough to be able to sell them. Unfortunately, as the years go by, inflation is just something we have to learn to live with.

There really aren’t any solutions, at least on a short term basis. Doctors need to stop charging so much and do a better job of their job. If the doctors would spend five more minutes listening to their patients concerns, I’m 100% positive that the patients would have better outcomes in terms of getting prescribed to unnecessary prescriptions, testing and surgeries. When doctors go back into the business of helping people rather than covering up symptoms, the health of this country will rise and the insurance companies will not have to keep raising rates because they are paying out so many unecessary claims.

I think that more employers need to learn about Health Savings Accounts and HRA programs. If you don’t show people all of their options, how can they make a decision.
