Affordability is the number one voter health concern. Although most Americans have health insurance, the rising costs of hospitals, doctors, and medications are making coverage increasingly unaffordable, leading to higher premiums and out-of-pocket expenses. By 2032 a typical family will spend 40 percent of their income just on health care premiums. At the same time, deductibles have increased 100 percent in the last 10 years.
Rather than reduce costs, Congress has largely focused on increasing or protecting government run health care, piling more money into an expensive system while shifting the burden onto taxpayers. Increasingly, these subsidies consume a greater share of our fiscal resources, driving up deficits to subsidize inferior coverage.
CAHC envisions a dynamic, competitive marketplace where all Americans have access to an array of increasingly affordable coverage and care choices. Our 2025 priorities are the blueprint for how we plan to achieve this.
