Controlling Healthcare Costs

The Council’s Healthcare Committee focuses on rebuilding healthcare systems in the wake of COVID-19 to promote health equity and economic inclusion while providing universal access to high quality care.

2023 Goals

  • Actively participate in the California Advancing and Innovating Medi-Cal (CalAIM) process to ensure California’s Medicaid program delivers better outcomes for all and better integrates with other social services
  • Participate in regional, state and national efforts dedicated to eliminating unconscious bias in healthcare and delivering equitable outcomes for all patient populations. Work to build a diverse healthcare workforce.
  • Support state and federal legislation that improves affordability of quality health coverage and modernizes the delivery system.
  • Ensure value for healthcare spending through private sector competition.
