Health Policy Watch
Description
Conventional wisdom has long held that fundamental reform of the American health care system is unlikely to occur. Yet a consensus that the existing system is dysfunctional is gaining strength among experts, lawmakers, employers, and the public at large. This growing consensus may generate support for the transformation of U.S. health care financing and delivery. The growing human and financial costs of our current system guarantee that health care will remain at the forefront of U.S. politics. Health Policy Watch seeks to provide experts and non-experts alike with a portal on these developing debates on health policy and on ideas for achieving universal coverage.
The Century Foundation conducts public policy research and analyses of economic, social, and foreign policy issues, including inequality, retirement security, election reform, media studies, homeland security, and international affairs. The foundation produces books, reports, and other publications, convenes task forces, and working groups and operates seven informational Web sites. With offices in New York City and Washington, D.C., The Century Foundation is nonprofit and nonpartisan and was founded in 1919 by Edward A. Filene.
