For HCFA’s next 2nd Wednesday Speaker Series, Nico Janssen from the Washington Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) presents "How Washington State is Putting the Affordable into Affordable Health Care".
To address rising health care costs which have created a persistent and growing challenge for the people and the businesses across our state, the Washington State Legislature directed the OIC and the Office of the Attorney General (AGO) to analyze policy approaches to improve health care affordability. This led to the OIC’s August 2024 Final Report on Health Care Affordability.
Our guest speaker will break down the approach, the new study, and the final recommendation with the five policy options that could improve health care affordability for all Washingtonians!
