Analysts focus on initiatives that take advantage of free-market principles to expand the options available to patients and their families and provides them with the information and other resources they need to make informed choices.

The Center displays this focus with activities that include:

sponsoring original research by both in-house and outside scholars,
hosting conferences for policy-makers, policy experts, journalists and researchers to discuss the implications of the latest health policy research findings;
conducting advanced, data-based simulations and analyses of state and federal health policy proposals;
developing an online clearinghouse of health policy information,
providing everything from "facts-at-a-glance" issue summaries to monographs, in-depth policy papers and detailed, analytical studies; and
working with state-level research institutes and public officials to craft innovative approaches to expand health coverage to those who are uninsured.
