With support from the National Press Club, Health Affairs launched a new, multi-year project on “Health Spending.” The project aims to promote an evidence-based conversation about health spending by exploring questions involving the level and growth rate of health spending, the distribution of spending, efforts to improve the value of care, and analysis of options for constraining health care costs.
To begin the public dialogue, Health Affairs and NPC are hosting a kickoff event on Thursday, February 1, 2018, in Washington, DC.
Panels will discuss what we know about health care spending, examine the effectiveness of current efforts to improve value, and explore how various sectors are responding to high levels of health care spending.
