Morning Plenary – Understanding the Health Care Cost Conundrum
Understanding the Health Care Cost Conundrum
What's driving health care costs? And why is this longstanding, seemingly intractable issue gaining so much attention? This plenary, which will include plenty of time for audience questions, expands on themes raised in the state officials-only Aug. 15 preconference and lays a foundation for discussions that will continue throughout the conference. We'll discuss factors driving costs ever higher — is it just that we pay too much? What can be done and how do we balance the trade-offs? How do we lower the trajectory of health care costs without affecting jobs, the economy, access, and quality? To explore these topics, we have three panelists well-versed in the cost conundrum
