Yet\, for years\, health insurers and employers have been shifting the responsibility to pay for care to consumers and employees. Clearly there is a pressing need for information on the cost of care. \nAHCJ will explore these issues during a one-hour webcast on price transparency on Dec. 12 at 1 p.m. Eastern (10 a.m. Pacific). \nSpeakers:\n\n\nSuzanne Delbanco\, Ph.D.\, executive director of the Catalyst for Payment Reform in San Francisco \n\n\nKatherine Hempstead\, Ph.D.\, senior program officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation in Princeton\, N.J. \n\n\nModerator: Joseph Burns\, AHCJ topic leader on health insurance \n\n\n \nSuzanne F.
