Healthcare Markets Initiative
U.S. healthcare markets suffer from both overuse and underuse. The challenge is developing the appropriate incentives that eliminate the inefficiencies which lead to some services being too expensive and reimbursements for other services being too low. The Healthcare Markets Initiative advances market-based solutions to health policy challenges in a variety of areas including rare diseases, medical devices and mental health.
