New Blog Shares Insight, Industry-Leading Knowledge of Health Reform
Expanding the health reform conversation
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Jump in anytime. That's the invitation from Lockton's Health Reform Advisory Practice, after launching the new LocktonHealthReformBlog.com. Lockton is now seeking followers and comments to keep the blog's content lively and the topics fresh. "Every single day we are answering the same types of questions about health reform from employers, and we think - 'we need to share this information broadly - today - RIGHT NOW' - with more than just this one person on the phone. That's why we are bringing Lockton's health reform insight to a blog," said Ed Fensholt, director of Lockton's compliance services division and a member of the firm's Health Reform Advisory Practice.

Fensholt says concerns about health reform often follow a similar pattern, no matter the size or industry of the employer. And now, as Lockton issues guidance to employers on health reform, blogging will be part of the mix.
"We expect to draw a diverse following to the blog," said Fensholt. "From our clients to legislators, to employees to healthcare providers, to other bloggers that do not have the resources to offer the 'how-to' guides and expertise that we offer. Our medical directors, actuaries, attorneys, the executives here at Lockton - we'll all use the blog as another resource through which to offer health reform updates and other commentary. Some of the content will be in reaction to what is happening from a regulatory or legislative perspective, a lot of it will be informal, and all of it will be relevant to employers dealing with the health reform landscape today - and what they can expect tomorrow."
