Health Policy Studies
 

AEI's health policy studies program has been a leader in the debates on health care policy, Medicare reform, health coverage for the uninsured, the role of private-sector solutions to public health problems, drug policy, the role of the FDA, the development of vaccines, and the effects of price controls on pharmaceutical R&D. This section of the website gathers together AEI research, books, and events focused on health policy studies.

 
In the Spotlight

"Rather than claiming that we can solve every problem in the health system, we should admit that we must set priorities.  Rather than locking in policies that are rigidly interconnected, we should take more measured steps that allow us to make frequent mid-course corrections.  Rather than imposing top-down solutions, we should recognize that real reform depends crucially on the way individuals, health providers, employers, and others respond to changes in incentives."

--Joseph Antos in an article on HealthAffairs.org, January 29, 2010
