Cigna responds to SFC Democrats’ health coverage RFI

The Cigna Group submitted comments in response to the Senate Finance Committee (SFC) Democrats’ request for information (RFI), “Health Coverage That Works for Everyone.” Our response highlighted the importance of thoughtful action and sustained collaboration across the health care system to apply meaningful reforms that address the underlying drivers of health care costs. We encouraged the Committee to pursue reforms that strengthen employer-sponsored coverage, preserve employers’ flexibility to innovate, support coordinated care, accelerate value-based payment, improve the patient and provider experience, and require accountability across the entire health care system. We worked extensively with industry trade and employer groups to ensure our priorities and messaging were aligned. The Cigna Group previously responded to an RFI on policy options to lower drug prices and a third RFI on long-term care was recently published.
