In the past 24 months I have sat on dozens of insurance panels and ultimately the question that arises at these events is: Do you think private exchanges are here to stay?
There are many people in the industry who are downplaying the role of private exchanges, calling the concept a fad, or just a souped-up version of a cafeteria plan from 20 years ago, or a supercharged benefit administrative system. And, while I respect their opinion, I find it to be a very naïve view of the future.
