The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recommends businesses consider taking several actions, including the following:
- Support repeal of the most onerous provisions of the Patient Protection and Afordable Care Act (PPACA), including many new mandates and taxes on businesses and individuals.
- Push back through written comments on regulations implementing the Act.
- Enact meaningful medical liability reform — supporting health courts, caps on punitive damages and eliminating frivolous lawsuits
- Expand access to care, strengthening employer sponsored health insurance by expanding its availability (and affordability) for every worker.
- Support consumer-focused health care, making accountbased plans more attractive to small businesses by increasing fexibility and improving the transparency of cost and quality information.
- Realign reimbursement mechanisms to reward quality instead of quantity.
