Aetna's Vision for a Sustainable, Affordable Health Care System

Passage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010 was an important milestone in addressing the issue of the nation's uninsured. However, much more needs to be done to address our health care quality and affordability challenges.
 
We will continue to advocate solutions to these ongoing issues guided by a vision of a health care system that helps all Americans have access to affordable, quality health care.  Our vision is grounded in a belief that:

• Consumers increasingly will be in charge of their own health care
• Access to, and affordability of, high-quality health care is a universal issue
• Accountable care organizations are the future business model for provider/health plan collaboration
• Health information technology will be a key enabler in helping people live healthier lives

We have a long history of working to build a better health care system. We remain focused on this goal until our vision is fully realized.
