Council for Affordable Health Coverage Information

The Coalition for Affordable Health Coverage (CAHC) is a broad-based alliance with a singular focus: bringing down the cost of health care for all Americans. Our membership reflects a broad range of interests—organizations representing small and large employers, manufacturers, insurers, brokers and agents, physician organizations and individual consumers. Principles - Contain and reduce costs by rewarding value over volume. - Increase transparency by providing consumers and purchasers with comparative information on provider quality and efficiency and health plan benefit design. - Reduce costs imposed by excessive taxes and mandates. - Promote flexibility in benefit design that allows policy holders to select or retain the health coverage that best meets their needs. - Expand consumer choice through coverage options that promote competition among providers and insurers. - Strengthen the safety net by providing assistance to those who need help.
