With Republican control of the White House and Congress, there will be pressure for spending cuts to help pay for tax cuts.

Those of us immersed in health policy focus a lot on containing costs. What voters really want to hear about is what can be done to contain THEIR health care costs. Affordability is the issue that resonates across the political spectrum.
