Welcome!  Health insurance is complex and confusing, I aim here, and in all my research, to try to wade through all of the noise to understand what's working and what's not in health care.  

I'm a health economist and a professor whose focuses on evaluating the relationship between patient cost-sharing and quality-of-care, with the goal of identifying which insurance does it best?  

If you're a policy maker or academic interesting in understanding how insurance benefit design affects care quality and cost, please head to the "Research" page for more information.  

If you're someone who needs help understanding how to select or use health insurance, please check out the relevant Health Insurance pages.  

Regardless of who you are, please enjoy some pictures of my cute pop, Bronson, and thanks for stopping by!
