Stim-u-lus: something that incites to action or exertion or quickens action, feeling, thought, etc.

Today we met with American Benefits Council President Jim Klein to discuss a few of the health care issues included in President Obama's economic stimulus package currently making its way through Congress.

In part one of the interview, EIC Robert Whiddon asks Jim to address COBRA reform initiatives included in the package, as well as whether or not money allocated for health information technology resources will indeed create jobs.

Be sure to come back Monday for part two when Jim will discuss comparative effectiveness research (also in the House bill), how turning the focus from sickness to wellness can lead to savings and what the future holds for the council.
