Contrary to recent reports, employers in cost-saving mode are not likely to cut wellness programs, according to findings released by the nonprofit Integrated Benefits Institute (IBI).
On the heels of President Obama's remarks to a joint session of Congress about his plans to overhaul the health care system, the U.S. Census Bureau released the latest figures on the number of uninsured Americans.
A new study examining a major comprehensive health care reform proposal looks at the cost to employers and any burdens that might be placed directly on Americans with employer-sponsored health plans.
Recent findings from Unum suggests most employees don't believe their employer-provided benefits would provide sufficient financial protection if they missed work because of illness or injury.
