Colorado Hospital Association Statement on Governors’ Bipartisan Blueprint for Health Care

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, COLO. – Feb. 23, 2018 – CHA appreciates the bi-partisan work the Governors put into the Blueprint and their recognition of the importance of ensuring a stable and affordable health care system for Americans.

“We applaud the focus on continuing to improve health outcomes as is often included in value-based payments models, but believe that to create a truly affordable health care model, the total cost of care must be managed.” said Steven Summer, CHA president and CEO. “The Association believes that to be truly successful, the blueprint will need to ensure its scope on payment reform includes state, federal and private sector payers and needs to include all components of health care.”
