The Alliance’s health policy platform focuses on increasing healthcare value – reducing costs while improving quality and safety. Most health policy debate has focused on how healthcare should be paid for and who should be covered. While addressing financing and access issues are important, at The Alliance, we believe we need to also address the underlying root causes of poor quality, waste, and inefficiency. We are not satisfied with merely expanding access to a badly broken system but seek to fix the system entirely for the benefit of all patients. Our platform recognizes the significant leverage that employers can use as one of the largest purchasers of healthcare; they, along with consumers, providers, and the government, play a critical role in addressing cost and improving our systems of care and coverage.
