How can public and private sector collaboration solve the problem of the uninsured?
Addressing the problem of the uninsured requires public and private sector leadership and collaboration. A strong public-private partnership would allow the business community and employers to bring real-world experience in innovation and marketplace expertise to the table, while the government can encourage personal responsibility and create legislation that supports expanded access and the development of innovative marketplace solutions. Because the uninsured are such a diverse group, a comprehensive variety of solutions both public and private are necessary to bring low-cost, high-quality health care to this growing population. Some common-sense approaches include: • Requiring all Americans to have health insurance coverage and pairing this individual coverage requirement with government assistance for low-income Americans who cannot afford coverage • Creating a legislative and regulatory environment that fosters the development and availability of affordable health insurance option
