The Health Reform Program
designs practical solutions to health care problems--solutions
that address the needs of all parties.
The program's
work on US health reform (USHR
page) addresses:
- patients' inability to afford needed prescription
drugs;
- the disproportionate closing of hospitals
in minority and lower-income communities; and
- methods of winning affordable health care
for all.
The program's
Access
and Affordability Monitoring Project (AAMP) tackles
coverage, cost, and caregiver survival problems in Massachusetts.
