Health Affairs February 20, 2020
In 2018, Health Affairs launched the Council on Health Care Spending and Value, a nonpartisan, expert working group that will, over the course of three years, develop recommendations about how the US could take a more deliberate approach to moderating health care spending growth while maximizing value. Led by Senator William Frist, MD, (R-TN) and Margaret Hamburg, MD, this group of 22 experts has begun its work with fact finding, studying the literature to identify areas of health spending—and spending growth—that are “excessive” and may therefore be appropriate targets for policy intervention. This post, the first in a series, provides a view into the council’s discussions, starting with its inquiry into administrative spending.
