America's Affordable Health Reform Plan
July 3, 2008

In 1992, when the country entered a serious debate about health care reform, the newly formed Council for Affordable Health Insurance (CAHI) drafted its “Eight-Point Plan” for health care reform. The goal was to highlight needed steps that would help create a consumer driven health care system, where every consumer has access to affordable health insurance policies and patients have more control over their own health care decisions. We believed then, and still believe, this approach would inevitably give consumers more health coverage options and encourage them to become value-conscious shoppers in the health care marketplace — and it has done exactly that.

With more and more emphasis being given to comprehensive health care reform -- just recently the news is reporting that Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-MA) is instructing his staff to begin discussions about comprehensive reform -- CAHI wants to ensure that the public and the politicians have good reform ideas in front of them.

So we have published an updated version of our Eight-Point Plan, called "America's Affordable Health Reform Plan: A Common-Sense Solution."
