CHM has championed and supported better access to healthcare and decreased costs with a particular focus on those most vulnerable. CHM produced a non-profit rural health system to help guarantee ongoing gain access to for healthcare to 10s of thousands of patients, and, more recently, helped establish a Medicare Advantage strategy which takes care of a disproportionately underserved population. Now, CHM is concentrated on pharmacy spend. CHM believes it can assist to control runaway pharmaceutical costs by attempting to clarify those patents supporting very costly drugs which might be excessively broad or have been artificially extended beyond their initial life times. One of the opportunities that they have selected to follow is to provide their findings to the general public, either through the filing of public court documents or by releasing the information directly to other interested third parties, in order to help get rid of flawed patents.
