**Description:**	  	Today, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced the winners of the HHS "A Bill You Can Understand" challenge, a design and innovation challenge to solicit new approaches and draw national attention to a common complaint with the health care system: that medical billing is a source of confusion for patients and families. HHS received submissions from health care organizations, technology companies, and design agencies, and today we are unveiling the two winning designs, which will be further evaluated for testing or implementation in six health care organizations across the country that are working to improve the patient billing experience.

**Description:**	  	"Under the Affordable Care Act, our nation's uninsured rate dropped in the first quarter of the year to 8.6 percent â€“ the lowest level on record. Because of the law, 20 million more Americans had quality, affordable coverage as of early 2016. And it is helping to bend the cost curve, contributing to the slowest growth in the price of health care in 50 years and reducing health expenditures by billions."
