A revolutionary approach to healthcare pricing

Since the 1980s, the U.S. has experimented with various forms of managed health care. But none of them has managed to control costs or improve health outcomes, argues Senior Fellow Hayden Rooke-Ley.

Gray Babbs, Ph.D. candidate in Health Services Research, presents a talk titled "Seeing Us" at the 2025 Research Matters conference.
