Citizens' Health Care Working Group

 CHCWG
The Citizens’ Health Care Working Group was comprised of 14 citizens from diverse backgrounds who were selected to represent an informed cross-section of the American people, in addition to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The Working Group was authorized by the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, to develop recommendations for the President and Congress that result in “Health Care that Works for All Americans.”

The nonpartisan group was tasked with engaging the public in a nationwide discussion of options to address the current crisis in health care and improve the health care system in the United States. By listening to citizens from communities across the country, the Working Group developed recommendations to transform the nation’s health care system while addressing runaway costs, unaffordable care, and unreliable quality.
