My involvement with Business Health Forum has provided our company with the opportunity to voice our concerns of balancing the ability to provide quality affordable health insurance for our employees with government goals of providing health care for all.  During my two year involvement with Business Health Forum, I have testified at the state capital, spoken with Senator Bennet and spoken before an audience whose primary focus is access for all.  Business Health Forum has developed a set of principles that encompasses the goals of universal coverage and the ability to sustainably fund the benefits.  This allows Business Health Forum to provide a credible voice in the health care debate that is a balance between cost and access.  Imagine that your primary customer had the ability to contractually obligate you to sell your product to them at a set price for an indefinite period; wouldn’t you want the ability to negotiate the scope and quality of the components required to fulfill that contract?
