That’s why every day, health plans advocate for high-quality affordable health care through:

  • Supporting policies to protect and lower health care costs.

  • Negotiating with providers to keep costs contained while prioritizing the delivery of quality care.

  • Holding pharmaceutical drug companies accountable for their skyrocketing prices.

  • Investing in innovation and technology to create more efficiencies and keep costs down.

  • Increasing accessibility to free or low-cost wellness and prevention services to keep Californians healthy.

Health Plans Are Working Every Day to Make Health Care More Affordable for Californians

Health plans are advocating for policies to make health care more affordable and negotiating with hospitals and pharmaceutical companies to contain costs while preserving quality medical care. The vast majority of health plan spending in California goes to pay for medical services like hospital and doctor visits, prescription drugs, lab tests, x-rays, and medical supplies. In fact, health plans spent more than $204 billion, or 94 cents out of every health plan dollar, on medical care in 2022.

Medical Costs: 94%
Admin Costs: 7%
