The participantshuman resources directors, medical directors, benefits managers, and others charged with negotiating contracts and services with health insurers for their companys employeesrepresented such corporations as the Coca Cola Company, Delta Air Lines, Ford Motor Company, Perdue Farms, Procter and Gamble, Sara Lee Corporation, the U.S. Postal Service, and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
