Health Insurance: What Should Everyone Be Covered For?

No issue is more important in the health reform debate than what should be included in the minimum, basic, or required benefit package.

Marjorie Ginsburg, Executive Director of Sacramento Healthcare Decisions, has extensive experience in leading employers, employees, the insured, and the uninsured through discussions about benefit design. In her latest paper, Balancing Act: A Sustainable Benefits Package for Health Reform, Ms. Ginsburg presents several strategies for benefits design and provides a compelling argument for why and how the general public can and must play a role in making decisions about health care coverage.
