Why Is Health Policy Important to The Alliance?

4

  • Health policy decisions – legislative and executive –

can have a direct impact on members of The Alliance and on The Alliance as an organization

  • Federal and state governments are the largest

purchasers of health care – their decisions affect the market

  • There is strength in numbers – in policy making as well

as purchasing
