Health Reform Program

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.
