IRG Releases Groundbreaking Report on Common Sense, Patient-Centered Healthcare Solutions for Wisconsin<\/h3>\n

Focused on driving down costs and improving outcomes<\/em><\/h4>\n


Delafield, WI \u2013<\/strong> Today, the Institute for Reforming Government released an unprecedented playbook for common-sense, patient-centered healthcare solutions that demonstrate how to successfully give Wisconsinites access to higher-quality and lower-cost healthcare. This groundbreaking report offers an alternative vision to the left\u2019s model of government-run healthcare. By upending the current incentive structure, increasing the supply of healthcare providers, and removing barriers to care, IRG\u2019s proposed solutions take power away from special interests and Big Government, and give it back to patients, where it belongs. Read the full report here. <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

IRG\u2019s policy team crafted the report in collaboration with renowned healthcare economist Tomas Philipson, a professor of public policy at the University of Chicago and former acting chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers for President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince Obamacare in 2009, the left has taken complete ownership over the issue of healthcare while the right has offered no viable solutions of their own. But after today, this changes. IRG is proud to release our groundbreaking report with Professor Phillipson that shows policymakers, lawmakers and industry stakeholders how to make Wisconsin the national leader in state-based healthcare solutions that actually drive down costs and, most importantly, improve outcomes for patients \u2013 the only standard that should matter.\u201d \u2013 Alex Ignatowski, Director of State Budget and Government Reform<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From expanding scope-of-practice for nurse practitioners and growing the supply of physicians to allowing insurer networks to be based on market-needs, this report<\/a> is centered on three critical, free-market pillars of healthcare reform:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Increasing health care choice and competition; <\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Medicaid reforms to improve service and protect taxpayers; <\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Establishing consumer-friendly price transparency. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
