In response to the Supreme Court's ruling today that upheld the Affordable Care Act, HSCA President Curtis Rooney released the following statement:
“Now that the Supreme Court has rendered its decision on the Affordable Care Act and the national conversation can return to healthcare reform centered on cost containment, hospitals and healthcare providers will rely more than ever on the billions of savings that their group purchasing organizations (GPOs) provide every year.
“Hospital budgets are already stretched thin, and as hospitals move forward with healthcare reform implementation, they will likely continue to face mounting financial pressures. GPOs stand ready to continue to work with hospitals, long-term care facilities and other healthcare providers to provide critical cost savings, to identify and bring innovative medical products to market, and to help preserve affordable and accessible patient care.”
