Many big American firms are reeling under increased health care expenses. They are now concerned whether the upcoming federal health care policy will be beneficial for them or not.

According to the new health care law, insurers and employers will be required to include complete preventive services for their employees. The biggest challenge for these insurers will be to convince their workers to take up the new policy and avail its benefits.

As per the Midwest Business Group on Health, large firms want their employees to use the preventive care programs in greater number, but the employees are not showing much enthusiasm for such programs.

Many Companies are providing incentives for their employees in order to encourage them to take part in various wellness programs. They are also urging their workers to get regular check-ups done. Such steps will decrease the Companies' costs and keep a check on rise in premiums.

According to Helen Darling, the President of National Business Group on Health, "We are in middle of transformation, a transformation of how health care is financed and delivered in this country".

The large Companies have several tactics to deal with rising costs and many say that they will stick to their age-old method of asking their employees to take a bigger share.

Almost 57% of the Companies are asking their workers to pay more premiums this year and 63% want their employees to pay even more from next year.

President Barack Obama and his government also believe that this new health care legislation will help in dealing with the rising health care costs.
