The average price of a three-day hospital stay is $30,000.
When health care costs too much, we all pay the price.
Who Pays the Price?
Sharing your story about high health care prices is a powerful act to support meaningful change.
The more people who share their story, the more we can support policy leaders who are working to pass reforms that will limit prices and protect patients and their families.
How Did We Get Here?
High health care prices cause significant harm to individuals, businesses, communities, and society at large.
Price Crisis will document the everyday harm the high prices cause to individuals, families, and communities. Part of this effort will include spotlighting relevant research and studies, as well as stories to support these data.
Where Do We Go?
Employers and consumers need to work with policy leaders to support initiatives that will lower health care costs.
Price Crisis will link to a library of non-partisan, evidence-based information via an online resource hub that is easy to use, easy to understand and has fast delivery of services to support development of sound healthcare policy.
Price Crisis is a new initiative between Catalyst for Payment Reform and the Employers’ Forum of Indiana with three goals.
Provide education about the harm that high health care prices cause to people and communities;
Create a database of stories shared by people who have struggled with the cost of health care;
Provide technical support to policy leaders who are ready to take on out-of-control health care prices.
The web site will grow and evolve in the coming months as we bring additional resources online.
