The Cost Containment Strategy in Corporate Health Care

In the 1980s, American industry has adopted cost containment as a key to corporate health policy. Corporations and their insurers have developed multi-pronged plans to control health costs. The incentives are substantial for if companies can reduce their medical insurance and disability claims, they may be able to lower their health costs and potentially reduce their insurance premiums. It's just about money. Very openly, like corporate executives were saying this at the time.
