Here’s why: Nearly everyone who receives healthcare in the United States is at risk of receiving care that is so expensive it threatens their financial security. Thousands of stories highlight the difficult decisions patients are forced to make everyday – “my life, or my life savings” – it’s time we start changing the story.

We all have a role we can play to turn our aspirational goals into operational realities.

We will begin to operationalize our moonshot by creating an Affordability Accelerator, in which Costs of Care will convene influential experts and stakeholders to work together on developing, testing, and implementing the most promising high-impact and sustainable interventions to improve patient affordability.

Costs of Care’s Affordability Accelerator will be a unique opportunity for those interested in being at the forefront of the patient affordability movement to make a significant contribution to our shared work focused on developing solutions that will make meaningful differences for patients.
