Post-King v. Burwell, NCHC Calls on Congress to Address Costs and Quality

July 6, 2015 By Larry McNeely

“With today’s verdict behind us, it is time to move forward on the health care issues all Americans care about: cost and quality.

American families and businesses continue to shoulder a growing health care cost burden. Yet the problems driving unsustainable health care expenses—growing chronic disease costs, volume-driven provider payment, and lack of market transparency and competition in prescription drugs—are imminently solvable.

We urge Congress to build on April’s successful  passage of SGR reform and children’s coverage legislation and pursue new, bipartisan solutions to our chronic disease, payment reform, and prescription drug problems.”

Post-King v. Burwell, NCHC Calls on Congress to Address Costs and Quality
Statement by National Coalition on Health Care President and CEO John Rother on today’s 6-3 King v. Burwell Supreme Court ruling upholding ACA subsidy provision

“With today’s verdict behind us, it is time to move forward on the health care issues all Americans care about: cost and quality.

American families and businesses continue to shoulder a growing health care cost burden. Yet the problems driving unsustainable health care expenses—growing chronic disease costs, volume-driven provider payment, and lack of market transparency and competition in prescription drugs—are imminently solvable.

We urge Congress to build on April’s successful  passage of SGR reform and children’s coverage legislation and pursue new, bipartisan solutions to our chronic disease, payment reform, and prescription drug problems.”
