Provide your reaction to the statement: "Employee benefits are seen as an entitlement by many employees." There has been much press about employers moving more towards a "consumer-driven" health care delivery system........basically, taking a similar approach like many employers do today with retirement plans (e.g. 401(k)) where there is a greater responsibility on the part of individual employees to manage their savings. You may be reading a lot about health reimbursement accounts and health savings accounts, etc. Perhaps, your employers offer these vehicles. Consumer-driven health plans, though, are more than a delivery system but rather "consumer" refers to a change in behaviors in how people access and utilize their health care - "consumerism." Are you familiar with consumer-driven approaches? If so, what is your perspective? What would be some of your suggestions on how employers could achieve success in "changing employee behaviors?"
