Americans are facing an affordability crisis when it comes to health care. As U.S. health care costs soar, more people than ever before are at risk of not being able to pay the price. What factors are driving these unsustainable costs, and what can policymakers do to make health care more affordable?
At this event, four leading health economists discussed recent and potential policies to increase provider price transparency, lower drug costs and reform health insurance markets.
