Council for Affordable Health Coverage

As the midterms give way to a new Congress, CAHC's survey offers a cautionary lesson: cozying up to insurers carries political risks. Addressing rising healthcare costs means holding insurers accountable, not protecting their interests. dailycaller.com/2026/11/05/r…

.@DrOzCMS at today's DOL event highlighting new PBM transparency rules & potential savings for Americans. But more must be done. Congress should ban spread pricing & fix Medicare Part D. Insurers shouldn't own PBMs, pharmacies, doctors & imaging centers. Patients before monopolies.

CAHC's @jwhite_health will join @IVI_health's Whole Health Policy Summit on Nov 10! He & his fellow panelists will discuss how policy, measurement & incentives can better reflect outcomes that matter to patients & families. REGISTER: valueresearch.org/events/202…

Employees are watching more of their hard-earned wages disappear into premiums and deductibles. Insurers need to answer for why coverage costs so much and delivers so little. nytimes.com/2026/10/22/busin…

Patients benefit when pharmaceutical companies compete to develop better, more affordable treatments. The COINS Act should not create new barriers to innovation and competition. More treatment options, greater patient choice, and lower healthcare costs should be the goal.

Competition drives innovation, expands patient choice, and helps lower healthcare costs. But proposed COINS Act regulations could restrict investments in promising new medicines, creating more government barriers to the development of lifesaving treatments.

America's pharmaceutical industry leads the world in innovation because it has access to global scientific breakthroughs. Restricting international biotech partnerships risks slowing drug development, limiting patient access to new treatments, and driving up costs. Patients deserve better.

The COINS Act could create new barriers to global biotech partnerships, threatening America's leadership in pharmaceutical innovation. Policymakers must balance national security with the need to keep lifesaving treatments moving from research labs to patients.statnews.com/2026/10/23/new-…

Family health insurance now costs more than $28,000 a year, while workers’ premium contributions jumped 9%. American families and small businesses are being squeezed dry. When will greedy insurers stop padding their bottom lines at everyone else’s expense? usnews.com/news/national-new…

Part D accelerated innovation but challenge now is IRA price negotiations & MFN are harming innovation. Innovation is leaving US to go to China. Incentives here need to be centered around more cures. - @jwhite_health

Bipartisanship is vital to reforming #Medicare. Patients must have choice and still be able to access the medications they need. - @jwhite_health

A handful of insurance giants dominate #healthcare, controlling everything from coverage, doctors & medication access. In @townhallcom, @jwhite_health argues breaking up those monopolies & restoring competition is critical to lowering costs & protecting patients. townhall.com/columnists/joel…

Importing a foreign system that limits access to cancer drugs risks creating similar challenges in the U.S. Whatever the label, GLOBE expands price controls, potentially restricting access without addressing affordability. cahc.net/price-controls-come…

“For too long, insurers have avoided the spirit of the law, which is to provide Americans with accurate information on lower costs. That ends today." - @jwhite_health cahc.net/strengthening-healt… #affordability #healthcare
