(Bloomberg) One-third of U.S. employers plan to move their workers health care coverage to a private exchange in the next few years, a survey found, following the lead of companies like Walgreen Co. seeking to reduce costs.
While 95% of employers said they would continue to offer health care in the next three to five years, 33% may use a private exchange to provide the benefit up from 5% currently, according to a survey released today by a unit of Aon Plc, a London-based insurance broker.
