Rx for Health Reform

Publication Date: April 22, 2008

In this call to action, NEHI has put forth "The NEHI Nine," principles to change the way we finance, organize and deliver care.

  Full Report

NEHI has taken a leading role in informing and influencing the health care debate in the 2008 presidential campaign.  The core of this initiative is our policy statement, Rx for Health Reform, calling for containing health care costs by preventing illness, managing chronic diseases and strengthening primary care.  These goals can be realized by implementing a series of policy changes known as the NEHI Nine.

Increasing access to health care of uninsured Americans is a major issue in the 2008 elections.  The New England Healthcare Institute supports this goal but believes that a lasting and cost conscious solution requires system-wide reform. If we change the way we finance, organize and deliver care, we can improve quality and save costs for all Americans by preventing illness, managing chronic diseases, and strengthening primary care.
