What happened? Earlier this month, IRG announced a ground breaking partnership on healthcare policy with healthcare economist Tomas Philipson, a professor of public policy at the University of Chicago and former acting chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers for President Donald Trump, to make Wisconsin the national leader in free-market, state-based healthcare solutions.

Why is it important? Wisconsinites cannot afford to wait any longer for free-market policy solutions that can be implemented at the state level to lower costs and improve access to health care.

With a focus on increasing choice and competition in the private sector and reforming Medicaid, these policy solutions will demonstrate how lawmakers, policymakers, and industry stakeholders can successfully deliver higher-quality and more sustainable healthcare to Wisconsinites.
