The Coalition to Control Spending with Care is a group of Tennessee not-for-profit organizations and advocates that have voluntarily come together to encourage and support sensible fiscal policy at all levels in our country.
what the coalition believes
"Controlling healthcare spending over the long run is critical in securing our country’s financial future.
However, a narrow focus on just federal health spending will cause serious harm to Medicare and Medicaid patients and their families, while placing tremendous financial pressure on states and providers.
Instead, the patient must be at the center of the discussion, and the focus must be on the drivers of healthcare spending.
Public policy should be aimed directly at: reducing clinically avoidable spending in public insurance programs; increasing patient-centered, integrated and coordinated care; aligning provider incentives to achieve the best long term outcomes for patients; improving administrative efficiency and ensuring adequate coverage across the board for patients.
These policies would yield powerful cost reductions at all levels of care. It is critical that we all work together to produce a sensible solution to the issue."
