About the Roundtable

Millions of Americans receive health care benefits as a result of their employment by state, county and local governmental units. The passage of the Affordable Care Act represents a historic opportunity to improve quality and increase value within the American health care system. However, the cost to provide this essential health care protection to active and retired employees and to taxpayers continues to increase at a challenging rate.

The Public Sector HealthCare Roundtable is a non-partisan, member-directed grassroots coalition that exists to give public employers and their health plan administrators a voice in this critical national discussion and to ensure that the public sector is not ignored in any federal action. As implementation of the Affordable Care Act continues, the Roundtable provides its members with a forum in which to share critical information and experiences and to consider potential partnerships that could improve efficiency and increase value.

Every public sector health care purchaser should consider joining today. For more information, visit our Join the Roundtable page.
