More »How Our Virtual Think Tank WorksLeveraging People, Money, and Ideas. More »Think Tanks Unite Behind a Health Plan Finally!The plan was prepared for the Trump administration by John C. Goodman (father of Health Savings Accounts) and Marie Fishpaw (Heritage Foundation) and published by National Review Online.  It features such patient friendly ideas as portable health insurance and doctor consultations by means of phone, email and Skype. More »A Win for the Goodman Institute: Personal and Portable Health Insurance Is Here!In an ideal world, most people would own their own health insurance and take it with them as they travel from job to job and in and out of the labor market. Most employers would prefer to make a cash contribution to help employees pay their own premiums in lieu of providing insurance directly. The Trump administration is making that happen.

They are also the leading intellectual defenders of tax reform, drawing on the most sophisticated and accurate economic models that exist. Goodman Institute studies by these two economists have been used by the White House, Paul Ryan, the House Ways and Means Committee, the President’s Council of Economic Advisors, the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal and many others in support of tax reform. Our scholars constitute the most credible source for the view that tax reform pays for itself, does not increase the deficit and is not a give-away to the rich.  More »Our Role in Health ReformWe are witnessing a radical transformation of the U.S. health care system. Although health care is the most regulated market in our economy, we have recently witnessed massive deregulation partly in response to the coronavirus threat. These changes were only possible because of three years of prior effort by the Trump administration. Many of the core ideas were pioneered by Goodman Institute health economists. More »New Partnership: Health Care NewsBecause of budget shortfalls, the Heartland Institute suspended publication of Health Care News in March. Fortunately, the Goodman Institute for Public Policy has agreed to partner with Heartland to ensure the newspaper’s survival going forward. This new partnership could not have come at a better time. Polls consistently show that health care is the number one issue with voters. So the need to inform candidates about health policy choices in this election year has never been greater.  More »
