Rising healthcare costs have created a crisis situation in employee health benefits. For the first time in a decade, the call for a single-payer healthcare system has been renewed. Although the single-payer system might help expand access to care and reduce administrative costs, the potential costs and bureaucracy make its implementation unrealistic. Consumer-centric health benefit models such as defined contribution and portable HRAs are the first attempts by the private sector to involve consumers in the healthcare decision process. Portable HRAs, which treat health benefits as portable assets to be managed and saved over a lifetime, have the potential to reduce employer costs while improving the quality and continuity of care, with equal access to care for all.
