John C. Goodman President of the National Center for Policy Analysis. Dr. Goodman earned his Ph.D. in economics at Columbia University and has engaged in teaching and research at six colleges and universities, including Columbia University, Stanford University, Dartmouth College, Sarah Lawrence College and Southern Methodist University. Dr. Goodman has written widely on health care, Social Security, privatization, the welfare state and other public policy issues. He is the author of seven books and numerous scholarly articles. Dr. Goodman's published works include National Health Care in Great Britain, Regulation of Medical Care: Is the Price Too High?, Economics of Public Policy, Social Security in the United Kingdom and, with Gerald L. Musgrave, Patient Power: Solving America's Health Care Crisis. Robert Goldberg is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, researching, and writing and lecturing on health care issues. His research interests include examining the impact of price controls on biopharmaceutical innovation, Food and Drug Administration control of medical information, and the impact that government regulation of medicine has had on health care quality. Through his writing, conferences and lectures, he has contributed to the legislative effort to reform the Food and Drug Administration. He was also instrumental in forcing reevaluations of several Clinton administration programs and proposals: the Vaccines for Children Program; the State Children's Health Insurance Program; an Environmental Protection Agency proposal to ban asthma inhalers with CFC propellants used by millions of poor children in America; and plans to have Medicare take over prescription drug coverage for seniors. His current work examines the impact of medical progress on human well-being and the use of market forces to sustain and spread medical progress in the United States and around the world. Goldberg is the author of numerous articles and reports. He has testified before the Senate Special Committee on Aging, the Senate Small Business Committee and the House Commerce Committee. He has written on health care and social policy for Reader's Digest, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Policy Review and National Review, and he writes regularly for the Weekly Standard. Goldberg, who received his Ph.D. in Politics from Brandeis University in 1984, is also a Senior Fellow with the National Center for Policy Analysis. Greg Scandlen is a Senior Fellow in Health Policy with the National Center for Policy Analysis. He has researched and written extensively on health policy issues for such publications as the Wall Street Journal, Investors Business Daily and the Washington Times. He also writes a weekly health policy newsletter called Scandlen's Health Policy Comments, which summarizes and critiques important research and developments in national health policy. Scandlen is a nationally recognized expert on consumer driven health care, medical savings accounts, insurance regulation and reform, employee benefits and ERISA, Medicare reform, and the uninsured. He has testified on health policy issues before congressional health committees and appeared on the NBC Nightly News, the O'Reilly Factor on Fox News, CNN, PBS and C-SPAN. Prior to joining NCPA he was a fellow in health policy at the Cato Institute; President of the Health Benefits Group, a consulting firm in Frederick, Maryland; and was the founder and CEO for five years of the Council for Affordable Health Insurance. |
