Free webinar tomorrow at 12:00 PM (CT): https://lnkd.in/gbnTB3ps The Association of Health Care Journalists will lead a conversation with Cora Opsahl, director of the health fund for the Building Service 32BJ labor union, and Gloria Sachdev, PharmD, president and CEO of the Employers' Forum of Indiana about the rising spiral of healthcare spending and the impact it's having on employers and families. Both have led fights on behalf of employers over hospital prices. Both see their efforts as part of a growing trend of employers fighting back against rising health care spending, which leaves businesses with less money for raises and families less money in the bank. #employers #hrbenefits #healthbenefits #hr #healthcarecosts
