Header and Body
This year’s conference will explore the anticompetitive power dynamics that are keeping hospital prices unsustainably high and rising while giving employers, unions, and individuals no choice but to pay them. The event will highlight the urgency behind the problem of rising hospital prices, show that the federal government is working on this issue at the highest levels, that there is an ever-growing community of employers, unions, and community groups who care about this issue, and present attainable steps for policymakers and purchasers to drive prices down.
If you can no longer attend and would like to live stream the event, we have set up morning and afternoon sessions on YouTube and LinkedIn.
