Curbing Costs, Improving Care: The Path to an Affordable Health Care Future
 

– PDF documents available for download below –

Over the past year, NCHC has conducted an intensive dialogue with health care experts and organizations that represent businesses, consumers, health plans, providers, and disability advocates. The NCHC Plan, “Curbing Costs, Improving Care: The Path to an Affordable Health Care Future,” is the product of those discussions.  It offers federal policymakers a path forward to address the unnecessary growth in health care costs and to improve quality of care by transforming incentives for all actors in the health system.

The NCHC Plan…

  • Achieves nearly $500 billion in deficit reduction, drawn from both spending reductions and health-related revenue;
  • Is more than a budget plan, including game-changing policy initiatives that will curb long term costs;
  • Avoids cost shifting onto state and local governments, employers, families or vulnerable populations;
  • Draws on the best ideas from Republicans and Democrats alike; and
  • Has won broad acceptance from the provider, consumer, health plan, and business organizations represented in the National Coalition on Health Care.
