Abstract:
The increase in health care costs over the past several decades has been both a national and a state-specific issue. Despite many efforts, the overall health care cost growth rate has not significantly slowed. These growing cost pressures require a serious, focused effort to fundamentally restructure the delivery of care and associated spending. This report, commissioned by the Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH), is designed to inform a state-level discussion of health care savings opportunities in Missouri.
