Communities throughout the nation increasingly face the critical problem of rising health care costs, which may eventually threaten access to care for segments of the population and the stability of essential health care institutions. The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, with the co-sponsorship of the American Hospital Association and the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, created Community Programs for Affordable Health Care to provide support to selected communities that recognize the problem and are able to mobilize community leadership to seek solutions. These communities will develop and implement demonstration programs designed to reduce significantly the rate of increase in their communities' health care expenditures while protecting access to services.
全国各社区越来越多地面临医疗保健成本上升这一关键问题，这最终可能威胁到部分人群获得医疗服务的机会以及基本医疗保健机构的稳定性。罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会在美国医院协会和蓝十字蓝盾协会的共同赞助下，创建了“社区可负担医疗保健项目”，为那些认识到该问题并能够动员社区领导层寻求解决方案的特定社区提供支持。这些社区将制定并实施示范项目，旨在大幅降低其社区医疗保健支出的增长速度，同时保障服务的可及性。
