Sustainable U.S. Health Spending
in the Next Administration

Précis

As the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and a strengthening economy continue to expand health insurance coverage, health spending growth has trended above its recent historic lows. To what extent has this imperiled longer-term sustainability and what should the next Administration do about cost control? We invite you to attend this fifth Robert Wood Johnson Foundation-funded symposium coming 4 months before the presidential election. It will update health politics and divergent policy choices, discuss health care and resultant fiscal pressures, and peer into the future health spending trends.
