Health care policy changes affect everyone. The BCG Center for US Health Care Reform and Evolution serves as a hub for our research and our specialists, with a focus on helping clients prepare for—and make the most of—change.
Changes in US government health care policies affect every part of the system, and at no time is that more evident than during a presidential election year. Regardless of the outcome, but in particular when there is a turnover in administration or party majority, renewed interest arises in health care policy reform. The changes reverberate throughout the sector, rippling through the companies and organizations that provide and pay for health care; the medical technology and life sciences suppliers that build health care equipment, systems, and services; and, ultimately, through society as a whole.
The BCG Center for US Health Care Reform and Evolution (CUHRE) helps clients stay on top of health care policy proposals. Our highly customized analysis helps clients make sense of how changes could impact this complex market. We also provide clear guidance on how best to approach health care reform solutions—identifying the precise actions to take in anticipation of policy changes—based on our clients’ specific circumstances.
