- Consumer Attitudes Toward Health Care: Survey Results (June, 2006)
Summary: Many consumers remain unengaged in health care costs and decision making. Few know the cost of medical services or have saved enough money to meet out-of-pocket costs typical of account-based consumer-driven plans. Employees still have a way to go in using decision-support resources to make informed health care decisions. Healthy behaviors can be incentivized, according to the survey, but certain behavior changes require steeper financial incentives than others. Commissioned by Great-West Healthcare, the 2006 Consumer Attitudes Survey was conducted by Q & A Research, an independent research firm. The annual survey gauges public attitudes toward employer-sponsored health care, providing guidance to companies and brokers in designing health benefit plans that drive enrollment and member engagement.
