Industry Leaders Brace for New Power Shifts as Health Care Reform Ramps Up

WILMINGTON, NC December 11, 2010 (Press-News.org) Health care providers, pharma manufacturers, insurance companies, and especially consumers, could see big changes in 2011 tied to health care reform. There are major provisions for Medicare revisions, greater transparency in health care costs and reporting, and increased support for community health centers, just to name a few. How will the role of the physician change? Will employers yield a stronger influence than the insurers? How will the pricing structure change? Will retail centers steal revenues from the hospitals?
