The Health Care (HC) team supports congressional oversight of health care delivery and financing in the United States across Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program, Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Service, private markets, public health, and prescription
drugs.
Recent examples of our work examined:
◍ the federal government’s public health response to COVID-19.
◍ the impact of rural hospital closures on access to healthcare.
◍ national efforts to prevent, respond to, and recover from drug misuse.
◍ wait times for care at the Department of Veteran Affairs
◍ the approval and cost of prescription drugs.
To examine these topics, we conduct a range of qualitative and quantitative work—such as site visits to medical facilities, interviewing government officials, surveying state and local health care agencies, and analyzing health care spending data or medical records.
