Intermountain Healthcare (IHC) of Utah could be a good model for health insurance reform in the US.   They are admired far and wide for delivering low-cost, high-quality health care.  IHC’s Selecthealth division is the top health insurance compnay in Utah with over 36% marketshare.  Other leanding health insurance companies in Utah include:  Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield of Utah (16% marketshare), and Altius Health Plans (15%).

Intermountain’s relatively unique healthcare delivery system involves provising health insurance coverage while owning the hospitals and employing the doctors, which gives them greater control over costs.
