Mercer Select US - Senate Finance Committee leaders release first of three health reform policy papers

Using "Acting as"

The "Acting as" feature on Mercer Select allows Mercer employees to see Select in the same way as Mercer clients and contacts who are members of one or more of the Select offerings. Simply use the pulldown menu on the top of every Mercer Select page, choose which of the common membership roles you want to play, and view the content in the same way as a member of that offering (or group of offerings).

Like some Mercer Select members, you may encounter content that is available only to certain membership offerings. In this case, you will be directed to a screen with a message explaining what steps you can take to view the content. As a Mercer employee, all you'll have to do is switch your role back to the Acting as Consultant role to see the content.

If your clients and contacts encounter Select content they can't access, you may be able to give them access by making them members of additional Select membership offerings. Please contact Select customer service for help.

You can gain access to all Mercer Select content - including internal-only content - by setting your "Acting as" role to "Consultant."

Senate Finance Committee leaders release first of three health reform policy papers

The first of three planned policy papers on health care reform options has been released by Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-MT, and ranking GOP Sen. Charles Grassley, R-IA. The paper focuses on transforming the health care delivery system, including Medicare quality improvement and payment reforms. Topics addressed include Medicare Advantage payment reforms and a comparative effectiveness research institute funded in part by a private health insurance tax. The committee will discuss this paper, as well as future papers on increasing coverage and financing health reform, in closed-door sessions. (Select News, 30 Apr 2009)
