Making Health Care Affordable: Reining In Health Industry Abuses To Lower People’s Costs and Generate Budget Savings

America's health care affordability and quality crisis stems from a fundamental misalignment between the business interests of the health care sector and the health and financial security of our nation's families. The health care industry sets excessive health care prices and takes advantage of loopholes that drive inefficient health care spending that has little to do with the quality of care provided to our nation's families.

Our government should stand on the side of patients by making sure the prices charged by the health care industry are fair, reasonable, and transparent. The good news is there is a bipartisan agenda that over 80 percent of Americans support that will do just that. We implore policymakers to advance these well-vetted, commonsense, bipartisan health care affordability reforms to lower costs for the American people and the federal government.
