HIRP Publications

The Health Insurance Reform Project (HIRP), a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization at the George Washington University, was founded in 1995 to foster improvements in health insurance and health care. HIRP is currently co-located with the National Health Policy Forum. The papers developed by HIRP staff and consultants are intended to stimulate discussion of emerging trends and policy proposals. As a courtesy to the health policy community, NHPF makes available on its Web site papers published solely by HIRP. A complete bibliography of materials produced by HIRP is also available for review.
