  5. The numbers behind the decline in workplace benefits

    American employers are asking more from workers as they try to cut costs and become more productive to compete in a globalized world, as described in <a href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-harsh-work-20130407,0,7162845.story">a Los Angeles Times Sunday story</a>. But they&rsquo;re also giving them much less. Everything from the company picnic to professional development opportunities are shrinking; employers are less likely to pay for education, train their employees and help them find an apartment or adopt a child.

  6. Insurance industry lobbies its way to Medicare pay raise

    What's most impressive about our highly dysfunctional heathcare system is that we're always finding clever new ways to make it worse.
    What's most impressive about our highly dysfunctional heathcare system is that we're always finding clever new ways to make it worse. The latest such move comes on the Medicare front, where lawmakers had been trying to rein in costs by modestly lowering...

  9. Bump in the road for healthcare law

    One figure in a new report neatly summarizes the potential pitfalls for Obamacare: 30.1%. That's how much premiums could rise next year, on average, for the roughly 1.3 million moderate- and upper-income Californians who buy individual health insurance policies. Most of that increase is attributable to the insurance reforms in the 2010 law, also known as the Affordable Care Act. The bill's title is not ironic &mdash; its provisions will slow the growth of healthcare costs and lead over time to a more rational and efficient system. But the transition will have some rough patches, and we're about to hit one.

  11. Do companies that refuse to hire smokers help them or harm them?

    The Cleveland Clinic is a world-famous medical center that is consistently ranked among the top hospitals in the country. It goes without saying that the health professionals who work there don&rsquo;t condone smoking. In fact, since 2007, the clinic has <a href="http://my.clevelandclinic.org/Documents/Urology/Non-Smoking_Hiring_Statement.pdf">refused to hire</a> anyone who smokes.

  12. Remove Medicare's straitjacket

    Now that the budget "sequester" is in effect, Congress is shifting its attention to entitlement reform. There's simply no way to achieve long-term reductions in federal spending without touching the big health programs, particularly Medicare. Although raising the age of Medicare eligibility from 65 to 67 appears off the table, at least for now, the budget plan that Rep. Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) is proposing would shift a greater share of the program's growing costs to beneficiaries in the years to come.
