The 32BJ Health Fund, a provider of high-quality and affordable healthcare for hardworking union members and their families, released a White Paper on the high price of hospital care. The paper provides a thorough and in-depth analysis of their claims data and other publicly available information showing that high hospital prices are the primary driver behind rising healthcare costs, especially in the NYC market.
The White Paper also identifies where hospital prices are highest and how they impact their participants. Through a study of their own claims data, and the broader research literature, they address some of the most common misconceptions about hospital prices and identify policy interventions that have proved effective in various locations around the country.
The 32BJ Health Fund has firmly established its role as a leader in the healthcare transformation movement and has earned a much deserved seat at the table in the policy debates on this topic around the country.
I was honored and privileged to play a role in this White Paper and the broader campaign to rein in unsustainable and unjustifiable high hospital prices for 32BJ Health Fund and other similarly situated commercial purchasers of healthcare.
