The state of healthcare in America receives bipartisan criticism, but the proposed solutions to increase access, affordability and autonomy are often divided down party lines. Now, we’ve seen how the COVID-19 pandemic served as a stress test for our healthcare system in general; access to medical care was threatened, and many lawmakers and governors rushed to issue reform measures that would help citizens receive the care they need while navigating the pandemic. Fortunately, many of these temporary measures were free market, deregulatory measures that worked. As we move forward, it is time to examine how states can permanently improve health care for citizens. Join our panel as we discuss what states can do to improve access, affordability and autonomy in healthcare.

R Street Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government. 

We believe free markets work better than the alternatives. We also recognize that the legislative process calls for practical responses to current problems. To that end, our motto is “Free markets. Real solutions.” 

We offer research and analysis that advance the goals of a more market-oriented society and an effective, efficient government, with the full realization that progress on the ground tends to be made one inch at a time. In other words, we look for free-market victories on the margin.
