Session 14: Consumer-Driven Health Care
Previous Session | Program | Next Session
Some companies provide employees a personal health account from which they pay medical expenses directly. These accounts allow consumers to control a portion of their own health care dollars and pay directly for medical care. Many believe these accounts have the potential to revolutionize our health care system.

National Center for Policy Analysis
John C. Goodman, Ph.D. founded the NCPA in 1983 and has served as President
since the center's inception. The Wall Street Journal called Dr. Goodman "the
father of Medical Savings Accounts," and National Journal declared
him "winner of the devolution derby" because his ideas on ways
to transfer power from government to the people have had a significant
impact on Capitol Hill.
Dr. Goodman is the author of seven books, including Economics of Public Policy, a widely used college textbook, and Patient Power: Solving America's Health Care Crisis, the condensed version of which sold 300,000 copies and is credited with playing a pivotal role in the defeat of the Clinton administration's plan to overhaul the U.S. health care system.
He has authored numerous editorials in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Investor's Business Daily, Los Angeles Times, The Dallas Morning News, Houston Chronicle and The San Diego Union-Tribune, and other papers.
Dr. Goodman regularly appears on television news programs, including the PBS program DebatesDebates, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and The Wall Street Journal Report. He has been a debater on several of William F. Buckley Jr.'s Firing Line shows, and has appeared on a number of two-hour prime time debates, including debates on the flat tax, welfare reform and Social Security privatization.
He regularly briefs members of Congress on economic policy issues and frequently testifies before congressional committees.
He is author/co-author of more than 50 published studies on such topics as health policy, tax reform and school choice.
Dr. Goodman has an active speaking schedule and has addressed more than 100 different organizations on public policy issues.
He received the prestigious Duncan Black award in 1988 for the best scholarly article on public choice economics.
Dr. Goodman received a Ph.D. in economics from Columbia University.
He has taught and done research at several colleges and universities
including Columbia University, Stanford University, Dartmouth University,
