Office of Health Care Affordability Takes Major Action to Rein in Health Care Spending
SACRAMENTO, CA – After a long debate, the board of California’s Office of Health Care Affordability (OHCA) voted on a historic effort to rein in the rising cost of care. The Board voted 6-1 to adopt a 3.5% annual cost growth target in 2025, moving down to 3% by 2029. While this final target differs slightly from the staff recommendation earlier this year, health care and consumer advocates supported this decision as it provides much needed relief to consumers who for years have been seeing their health care costs rise by 5% or more every year.
