The Healthcare Value Hub is excited to present the redesigned 2024 Health Care Affordability Policy Snapshot and the accompanying Affordability Dashboard, tools designed to empower legislators, consumer advocates, and policymakers with a comprehensive view of state-level health care affordability policies. This new resource replaces the former Scorecard, offering a broader scope that includes not only familiar affordability policies but also new additions to address today’s health care challenges. During this webinar, participants will be introduced to the Affordability Snapshot, which provides a comparative analysis of health care policies across all 50 states and DC. The Dashboard offers an interactive experience, making it easy to explore state data, track the implementation of affordability measures, and find resources for further action. Attendees will learn how to leverage these tools to research specific healthcare access and affordability policies at the state-level. Whether you are a healthcare advocate, researcher, or policymaker, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge and tools to better understand health care affordability policies in your state.
