2022 MAY 18 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Insurance Daily News -- Research findings on Health and Medicine - Health Promotion are discussed in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Cleveland, Ohio, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Equitable health benefit design is central to addressing the health inequities of individuals with commercial health insurance in the United States.”

Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Case Western Reserve University, “To do so, employers and other plan sponsors must take action to identify and address unmet health and well-being priorities among racialized groups and low-income workers. These historically underrepresented subpopulations will also benefit from more equitable approaches to healthcare benefits design that recognize and meaningfully address access and affordability concerns.”

According to the news editors, the research concluded: “Targeted appropriately, these actions have the potential to foster greater employee engagement and productivity, leading to enhanced business performance.”

This research has been peer-reviewed.
