Affordability
Healthcare cost growth constrains wages, hiring, and reinvestment. MEHA supports policy that addresses the underlying drivers of cost rather than shifting expense between purchasers, employees, and taxpayers.
Priorities
Four priorities. One purchaser perspective.
These commitments define how MEHA evaluates every proposal, in the legislature and in the market.
Transparency
Employers act as fiduciaries of the plans they sponsor. That duty requires timely, usable, and complete information on prices, quality, and their own claims data.
Competition
Consolidation among providers, plans, and intermediaries reduces the choices available to purchasers. MEHA supports competitive markets and the entry of new options for employers.
Benefit Design
No two workforces are alike. Employers should retain the flexibility to design coverage, networks, and cost-sharing that fit the employees they serve.
