Given the intensity and importance of health care debates underway in Washington and across the country, I thought you might find the approximately 25 American Experiment publications and blogs below interesting and helpful. My great thanks to Policy Fellow Peter Nelson for writing most of them.
Released over the last several years, they deal with an extraordinarily complex issue from a variety of angles, sometimes with a national focus and sometimes with a Minnesota emphasis.
Many thanks and please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
