The Phoenix Business Journal recently published Table of Experts: Arizona government and business leaders partner to lower health care and drug costs, hosted in partnership with CVS Health and Molera Alvarez. Jaime Molera, Partner at Molera Alvarez, joined Steve Montenegro, Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives, James Margiotta, SVP, Chief Growth & Client Success Officer for CVS Caremark, and  Ray Schey, Publisher at the Phoenix Business Journal, to tackle one of the state’s most pressing challenges: the rising cost of health care.

From a small-business perspective, Molera highlighted that rising health care costs and burdensome regulations are putting increasing pressure on employers across Arizona. He emphasized the need for thoughtful, balanced policymaking that considers the real-world impact on businesses tasked with providing quality benefits to their employees. His insights reinforced the critical role Arizona’s business community plays in driving economic growth and the importance of policies that allow them to thrive while continuing to support their workforce.
