Business Roundtable

Business Roundtable CEOs believe maintaining an affordable, innovative and efficient health care system is a critical factor to ensuring a better quality of life for all Americans and a more productive and competitive U.S. workforce. Although the United States is recognized as a leader in medical technology, research and quality of care, the costs of its health care system are quickly becoming unsustainable. Constituting almost 18 percent of GDP in 2010 and rising at more than twice the annual rate of inflation, soaring health care costs place a growing burden on family, business and government budgets.
