FEDERAL ISSUES
Single-Payer Health Care The Chamber supports improving health care quality, access and affordability without imposing new mandates and/or taxes on business. Therefore, the Chamber opposes a single-payer government-run/ public option or health care system with excessive government mandates. Employer-Driven Market Reforms The Chamber believes that employers drive innovation in health benefits and, therefore, we support market- driven health reforms are the best approach to reducing costs while promoting market stability, efficiency, wellness and quality of care.
Medicaid Cuts The Chamber opposes Medicaid cuts that would place increased pressure on reimbursement rates, negatively impact the adequate delivery of critical services to the most vulnerable, exacerbate an already high administrative burden for health care businesses and increase the burden of uncompensated care shifted to employers and health care providers. Research and Development The Chamber supports efforts to foster a federal policy environment that is conducive to further research and will oppose efforts to unreasonably restrict the continued development of national bioscience and research programs .
