    Abstract:
    Pressure placed on employers to enhance the bottom line comes from a multitude of changes in the marketplace and has resulted in employers seeking to limit their liabilities and expenses for retiree medical care.

These include eliminating or modifying benefits, using a defined contribution approach, capping subsidies and enrolling retirees in Medicare HMOs.
