For Immediate Release March 25, 2003

WASHINGTON, D.C. (March 25, 2003) -- The National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA) and the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) on Monday discussed new strategies for dealing with three distinct health care crises facing our nation today.

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who currently resides at AEI, discussing the costly burden of malpractice lawsuits, which cost $1,000 per household per year yet have little effect on the causes of malpractice;

NCPA President John C. Goodman, known as the “father of Medical Savings Accounts,” detailing why it is important to make health insurance personal and portable, and strategies to doing so;

NCPA Senior Fellow Thomas R. Saving, discussing strategies for creating an insurance market where specialized health plans will want to enroll high-cost patients. Saving is also a Social Security and Medicare Trustee and the Director of the Private Enterprise Research Center at Texas A&M University.

The NCPA is an internationally known 501(c)(3) nonprofit, nonpartisan research institute with offices in Dallas and Washington, D. C. that advocates private solutions to public policy problems. We depend on the contributions of individuals, corporations and foundations that share our mission. The NCPA accepts no government grants.
