Providing Health Insurance For All Through Private Health Insurance

A recent article featured on the Galen Institute website cites Parente's research. The article,"Providing Health Insurance for All Through Private Health Insurance" says "The United States is unique in the developed world in that the majority of Americans have private health insurance that they receive through the workplace... Economists Steve Parente, Roger Feldman, Jean Abraham et al showed in a University of Minnesota study that opening up competition among the states for health insurance would mean an additional 12 million people could get health insurance, without any new spending by the federal government."

The Galen Insitute is a health policy research organization.
