Employers are overwhelmed by hundreds of so-called “point solutions” designed to lower the cost of their employee health benefits and improve clinical outcomes.
fee for service is the way to go without corruption; anything else IS corruption, either making it the doctors' fault, or claiming value based care is great, but it is not, because you cannot make a cookie cutter distinction where people are so varied and different, races and sex; you cannot blame providers because people do not take medications, they do not get healthcare or meds because the COST IT TOO HIGH! THE WAY TO GO IT SINGLE PAYER.
I worked temp-to-hire for an agency of a state government. Even temp status did not release anyone from the state government policy that mandated all employees to participate in an alleged "health maintenance" program or have $50/month deducted from their paycheck. Not a union program - this was a state mandate. Among other alleged "health promoting" programs, one such program mandated weekly attendance at a "state approved" local exercise class or gym, with documentation proving participation. All local (I was already commuting 140 miles RT daily, so would have made the workday so much longer -- and local to where I lived wasn't allowed). IDK if the state government is still doing this; after I quit due to the expensive and burdensome "participation" mandate I heard there was at least one court challenge.
You know what could accomplish this, single payer.

Touche! Employers are the biggest spenders in healthcare and they hold the keys to the kingdom
where is the actual published evidence that this works?
