  • Which companies may be most vulnerable to layoffs, lower investment results, growing medical costs and problems raising capital?
  • How will company performance and profitability be impacted as health plans prepare for health insurance exchanges and other reform-related initiatives? What will the shift toward defined contribution mean for the bottom line of health plans? What will we see in utilization trends for 2013, based on varying projections for economic recovery?
