Coming to your Community
Changing health care and reducing rising costs are a challenge. It is possiboe to respond effectively, but only if there is a
sufficiently large aggregation of those that want to see it changed. This is required in oreder to gain the attention and
cooperation of the large number of stakeholders whose current orientation is to protect their own interests.
For that reason, the Alliance is visiting communities across the State, hoping to enlist employers (particularly those with
less than 3000 employees - though all are welcome) to join together in the Alliance to bring about beneficial change. The
Alliance currently represents over 50,000 employees, but their influence is limited in that they have a limited number of
member employers who are very narrowly focused geographically. The goal of this recruitment effort is to add
employees in order to create the critical mass necessary to support Alliance initiatives and to have leverage with various
stakeholders.
Please see the sample brochure below regarding proposed employer meetings around the State. You may also be
interested in reading a letter from John Mutz, former Lt. Governor and Chairman of the Indiana Employers Alliance.
If you would like to assist in organizing or hosting a meeting in your community, or would simply like to know more
about the program, contact Dr. Lamkin, Alliance President, at nlamkin@sbcglobal.net.

| Stymied by Employee Health Costs? YOU Can Control Employee Health Costs and Add REAL DOLLARS to Your Bottom Line All employers, particularly small employers, are battered by rising health costs, 2 to 3 times general inflation or more. These increases drive up product costs, restrain employee compensation and eat away profits. Over 25 years ago, a man in the movie “Network” urged everyone to throw open their windows and yell, “I’m mad as Hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!” Is it possible that today some small and mid-sized employers are becoming similarly frustrated when it comes to their employee health care and what it costs their businesses? If you are one of these companies, you don’t have “to take it anymore” - but you do have to do something about it. Reducing health benefits costs, while improving the health of employees and their dependents, drives dollars directly to the bottom line. Employee health and health care can be made better, with lower cost, but only if employers are determined to join together to make it happen. Government sponsored health care is not the answer. It simply moves the cost from you, back to you through taxes. In fact, Medicare is also faced with the same cost overruns as employer sponsored programs. ********** What is the Employer Vision? • Health cost increases at or less than general inflation • Organized and analyzed data to know where, why and how employees use health care • A corporate culture in which health and chronic disease are managed efficiently and effectively • Group-purchased systems and programs • Information to evaluate health plan performance • Complete transparency and reduced administrative overhead • Physicians, hospitals and benefits administrators of documented quality and efficiency • Unnecessary programs eliminated • Collective lobbying ********** The Indiana Employers Quality Health Alliance has a plan to create this by: • Disseminating actionable information to employers • Establishing functioning health care markets • Enabling value-based purchasing • Advocating for finance reform ********** Come and hear an impartial, comprehensive program predicted to reduce your health cost trend 5-10% in the first year, an additional 5 – 10% in the second year, and thereafter to hold increases at least 2% lower than medical price inflation. Additional benefits of this program include: better information for decision making, expert consultation on benefits structuring, and improved employee satisfaction and productivity. Who Should Attend? • CEOs, CFOs, and HR VPs of small and mid-sized employers, i.e., up to 3000 employees, though all are welcome ********** A higher quality, more efficient health system is possible if employers use their combined leverage to effect real change. If you are an employer with health cost concerns, then you owe it to yourself, your employees, and your business to join other employers in your community to hear the Alliance approach.
