Employers are customers, not consumers. That word has a specific meaning in the industry and you are using it incorrectly.


view as:

Corporate entities consume administrative hours, paperwork, procedures, etc... of the healthcare system, which have many interested parties that benefit from that, they are consumers in a broader sense.

You're really missing the point. The word "consumer" has a specific meaning in the health insurance industry, which is what this article covers. What you're describing is irrelevant and off topic.

How is that 'off-topic'? That is the point of the parent, that many, including employers, corporate entities, etc., benefit from increasing consumption of the healthcare system.

Those are not consumers.

Did you misread my comment? Corporate entities certainly consume non-zero amounts of resources. They are definitely consumers in an economic sense. That applies for all sectors of the economy, not just healthcare.
