Good point. "The biggest barrier to adoption would be privacy concerns." Yes. The way to handle this is through a layer of indirection, a la LinkedIn which you mentioned: "We have identified people who might want to compare notes with you. Would you like to be contacted by them?" “For smaller companies, third party providers can fill the need to bring together multiple companies with similar defined benefit plans.”

Your model will work well (and fill a dire need) for large companies. For smaller companies, third party providers can fill the need to bring together multiple companies with similar defined benefit plans. The biggest barrier to adoption would be privacy concerns. Along these same lines, I've always thought it would be useful to get service provider recommendations from my social network. I moved recently, and I found the process of researching service providers (doctors, dentists, a car mechanic etc) very cumbersome. What I need is not a highly liquid market with lots of recommendations (the Amazon model) but a small number of recommendations with a high weight assigned to each one (the linkedIn model).

Benefits for me were a big black hole for almost the first 5 years I worked at my first pseudo corporate job. I think it's worse for someone who has never had any paid benefits before. You can certainly squander a lot of pay on your medical coverage I discovered. I couldn’t agree more.
