Michael Bond, Ph.D., is the Senior Fellow in Health Care Policy at The Buckeye Institute, Professor of Finance at Cleveland State University and adjunct lecturer at the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University. He has taught health care finance along with numerous other courses. He is an active consultant and has worked with over 150 law firms and companies on numerous issues. His work on Medical Savings Accounts (MSAs) and health-care policy reform has received national attention and appeared in a wide range of professional and popular publications, including Health Care Financial Management, Public Personnel Management, Compensation and Benefits Review, Benefits Quarterly, and Business Horizons. Along with over 70 articles and presentations, he is the author of the nation's first practical guide to establishing MSAs (published by The Buckeye Institute in 1997). He also co-authored a guide to reforming Medicaid using a market based plan (published by the Buckeye Institute in 2003). This resulted in the establishment of a Medicaid Commission in Ohio that adopted many of the proposals in their final report. The State of Florida recently proposed Medicaid reforms based on his “Insurance & Provider Exchange Model.” Mike earned his Ph.D., M.A. and B.A. in economics from Case Western Reserve University and serves as an advisor on Medicaid to South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford.
