Proud to speak before a U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee hearing today on the successes and challenges of moving toward a more affordable, high quality, and prevention-oriented health system. #GetCovered

King County is a model for the rest of the nation—we reduced health care costs while increasing enrollment and also worked upstream to prevent those costs in the first place, through our work in #publichealth and our early childhood initiative, @BestStartsKC.
But we also still need investments from the federal government, which is why these remarks included an appeal to increase investments in prevention in both public health and behavioral health—Benjamin Franklin was right when he said it represented the best value proposition.
I also asked that the Senate work to protect the gains in coverage, care, and prevention of the ACA. Over time, access to a healthier workforce can help employers like King County and others across the region better fulfill their missions and strengthen our competitive edge.
It's in all of our best interest for the federal government to use its significant purchasing power to accelerate strategies that pay for value over volume, increase transparency, & help payers better align their efforts – focusing on the pharmaceutical industry in particular.

And finally, a reminder: You have until Dec 15 to enroll in affordable, quality health care through the ACA. In-person enrollment centers—where you can also get a low-cost ORCA Lift card, too!—are located across the county to help get you started. http://bit.ly/getcoveredkingcounty …pic.twitter.com/figEM7kHBn
