About Blue Sky Health

What Is Blue Sky Health?

Blue Sky Health is an initiative dedicated to changing the way Americans think about, deliver, and finance health and health care systems.

Our vision is broader than what is traditionally conceived as “health care reform.”  Instead of focusing solely on expanding insurance coverage or improving medical care once illness has occurred, we are developing system-wide solutions designed to improve the health of society as a whole and make illness less common, severe, and costly.

We believe that we can overcome the shortcomings of the current health system by seeking solutions that embrace not just universal coverage but that also focus on prevention and the systematic promotion of health for all Americans.

We are committed to developing an effective and fundamental reform strategy for elevating the current U.S. health system into a truly effective one. Our Blue Sky Health team has already developed a framework that outlines what a transformed health system might look like and that explores alternative approaches to organizing and financing health systems, in ways that promote the health of all individuals.

To develop the best solutions for our nation’s health problems, we believe that we must work collectively with experts and practitioners in the public and private sectors, including those who are operating outside the prevailing definition of health care. We are confident that by engaging everyone who has the knowledge, experience, and desire to change our system, we can fundamentally transform health care as we know it today.
