Dr. Goodman's book, Patient Power, revolutionized the field of health policy, shaping and molding almost all right-of-center thinking on the subject. His book Priceless—praised by scholars across the intellectual spectrum—is revolutionizing the field of health economics.

The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal call him the "Father of Health Savings Accounts." Modern Healthcare identifies him as one of four people who has most influenced the modern health care system. Writing regularly for such publications as The Wall Street Journal, Investor's Business Daily, National Review and Health Affairs, Goodman also appears frequently on Fox News and other television news programs.

His work and ideas have been used by such politicians as Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan; in the news media, by Steve Forbes and the editorial writers at The Wall Street Journal; and by conservative and libertarian think tanks generally. He is currently working with member of Congress, in the House and the Senate, on a replacement for ObamaCare.

Dr. Goodman writes a guest column two or three times week at Forbes and a weekend column for Town Hall.

Why Everything We Are Doing in Health Policy is Wrong

Health care is a complex system. The key components of complex systems cannot be copied, duplicated or replicated. Most important of all, they cannot be managed from the top, down. Almost everything we are doing to control costs, boost quality and improve access treats health care as an engineering problem-one that can be fixed following a book of rules.
In fact, complex systems rarely ever work unless people are liberated. That means eliminating perverse incentives and freeing the...

How Employers Can Cut Health Care Costs In Half

There is only one reliable way to reduce costs, increase quality and improve access to care: rely on the power of competitive markets. That means giving patients control over health care dollars and allowing providers to compete on price, quality and the convenience of care. Where ever third-party payers are not dominant, we see the power of this approach: cosmetic surgery, Lazik surgery, walk-in clinics, mail order drug houses, telephone and email consulting services, concierge doctors,...

Are We Going Broke?

In 2012, the federal government will require one out of every 10 dollars of general income tax revenues to keep its promises to seniors under Social Security and Medicare. That means to balance the budget, the federal government will have to stop doing one in every 10 other things it has been doing.

By 2020, the federal government will have to stop doing one in every four things it has been doing, if seniors are to get all their promised benefits. By 2030, about the midpoint of the...

I.A.O.H.U.

Dr. Goodman provided some very insightful thoughts on the effects of the Affordable Care Act at the Iowa Healthcare Symposium in Des Moines, IA. The way John presented the information finally allowed attendees to understand how the ACA was impacting their business and everyday lives. The audience was impressed with Dr. Goodman's knowledge and presentation.
