For decades, our crazy and complicated health care system has had very little consumerism, and very little transparency.

As costs have continued to spiral, however both consumerism and transparency are emerging trends.

They've given rise to health savings accounts (HSAs) and transparency tools that are allowing employers and employees do a better job of shopping for health care.

When an employer and its employees learn how they can be better consumers of health care, they can reduce the total dollar amount of claims and, as a result, reduce premiums.
