The Coalition to Advance Healthcare Reform (CAHR) is an active coalition of more than 50 employers and business leaders formed in May 2007 committed
to moving healthcare reform forward at both the state
and federal level. Our goal is to advance meaningful,
market-based solutions to our nation’s healthcare crisis. Members of CAHR believe there
are five core elements essential to any meaningful
reform including:
- Market-Based Healthcare System
- Universal Coverage with Individual Responsibility
- Financial Assistance
for Low-Income Individuals
- Healthier Behavior and Incentives
- Equal Tax Treatment

IN THEIR OWN WORDS
“Our employees are the key factor in Kimberly-Clark’s future
success.
Which is to say, helping employees make better choices
to enhance and preserve their health is not only the
right thing to do,
but it also makes good business sense.
I’m pleased that, in
addition to complete and competitive health care plans,
we offer
employees access to on-site medical care, fitness facilities and
nutrition counseling at many of our locations.
Despite
these efforts, healthcare costs continue to escalate
at rates few
businesses can afford.
Broad healthcare reform can only be
achieved through collaboration of the business community,
health care
providers, elected officials and other opinion leaders.
Comprehensive initiatives such as the Coalition to
Advance Healthcare
Reform are the right way to approach solutions to the
health care
crisis in our country.
That’s why Kimberly-Clark is
enthusiastically participating in this group.”
