Former House Speaker Paul Ryan emphasized the need for evidence-based reforms to fix the nation's strained healthcare system.
He warned that the current system is "frayed and unsustainable" without significant reform, citing significant financial pressures.
“Healthcare is the core of our social contract as a country,”
Ryan proposed state-based risk pools to cover the sickest Americans and premium support models for Medicare as part of his vision for a more patient-centered and sustainable system.
As a keynote speaker at the Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) Nexus, Ryan expressed optimism that reform and innovation guided by healthcare leaders and evidence can lead to a sustainable system.
