Healthy Access

Healthy Access Plan for Affordable and Responsible Heath Care Reform

The members of NAHU believe the time is right for a solution that controls medical spending and guarantees access to affordable coverage for all Americans. We believe this can be accomplished without limiting the people's ability to choose the health plan that best fits their needs and ensures them continued access to the services of independent state-licensed counselors and advocates. NAHU's Healthy Access plan is a comprehensive approach to meeting this challenge, and a yardstick for evaluating other proposals.

To support the proposals outlined in Healthy Access, NAHU has developed three detailed briefing reports.

Constraining Medical Costs

Any comprehensive health reform plan need to address the true underlying problem with our existing system: the cost of medical care. You can review NAHU's briefing report on constraining medical costs.

Providing Access to Coverage for All Americans

All Americans should have access to affordable health care coverage. As important as affordability, however, is choice. There needs to be choice of providers, choice of payers and choice of benefits, with many price and coverage options. The reality is that we are a diverse nation with diverse needs, and one size does not fit all when it comes to health care. You can review NAHU's briefing report on providing access to coverage for all Americans.

Financing Access

Affordability is inherently necessary to all parties represented in this health care financing reform presentation. It is obvious that an investment in change is required to see positive reform results. You can review NAHU's briefing report on financing access.

Healthy Access Plan Summary

NAHU has prepared a two-page document outlining the key components of NAHU's Healthy Access plan.

Healthy Access Presentation

To help NAHU members educate the public about our Healthy Access goals, NAHU has prepared an informational power point presentation for our members' use, complete with detailed speaker's notes.
