Mercer Select US - Senate Finance Committee holds roundtable on increasing access to health care coverage

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 holds roundtable on increasing access to health care coverage

Lawmakers and expert witnesses debated a wide range of reform issues on expanding health care coverage with major implications for employer plans at a May 5 Senate Finance Committee "roundtable" hearing. Much of the discussion focused on proposals to create a public, government-run plan to compete with private insurers as part of a national health care overhaul. The idea is backed by President Obama and key Democrats but staunchly opposed by employer and insurance groups. The hearing was the second in a series of three designed to help the committee draft a bill for consideration in mid-June. (Select News, 7 May 2009)
