Overview: Steve Case is turning his attention to the health care industry in hopes of effecting radical changes in how people meet their health needs. The means to this end is Revolution - a portfolio of 12 companies, ranging from luxury resorts to boutique insurers, which cost a hefty quarter-billion dollars to assemble. Revolution Health consists of multiple parts, including ConnectYourCare, a company that provides ancillary support for employers who offer health spending accounts; InterFit Health, a company that develops low-cost clinics in retail locations, like Wal-Mart and Sam's Club; MyDNA Media, a Web site that offers medical news; and 1-800-Schedule, a search engine that allows consumers to find doctors and schedule appointments. This paper describes one of the trends that Case and Revolution Health are banking on is of particular interest to employers: the defined-contribution health care plan.
