The Chamber's health care priorities include:

• Advancing successful ideas from the private sector that reduce costs, advance quality, and improve health
• Promoting reforms that provide relief to employers and employees as the ACA is implemented including:
  • Reducing the harm of the employer mandate by restoring the 40-hour work week;
  • Repealing taxes that increase premiums and cost jobs such as the 40% excise tax, medical device tax, and the health insurance tax; and
  • Improving flexibility for tax-preferred accounts that encourage careful health care spending like FSAs, HSAs, and HRAs
• Raising awareness of the positive effects of wellness and chronic disease management programs in the workplace to improve health and productivity
• Expanding access to coverage and services by strengthening the employer-sponsored system
