Lowering Healthcare Costs
To rein in healthcare costs, the U.S. must create a more efficient and transparent system. To slow the healthcare cost trajectory, West Health is focused on advancing three common-sense solutions: 1) accelerate adoption of value-based care; 2) lower the cost of prescription drugs; and 3) increase pricing transparency.
