As Business Changes, So Will Our Healthcare

Only a few years ago, the big issue regarding healthcare was how much responsibility an employer should or could take for his or her employees. Insofar as its economic impact registered, the focus was on small-business owners.

The current pandemic has pushed healthcare issues into broader debate: impact on and responsibility of the individual; impact on and responsibility of businesses — big and little — as employers; and impact on and responsibility of healthcare-sector businesses as businesses themselves.

These are the perspectives on which we’ve asked authorities in our community to share their experience and their expertise. And it may not be surprising that some of the same issues surface repeatedly, but even they are seen from different angles.
