Responsible Tax Credits for Health Insurance

By John S. Hoff and Mark V. Pauly

This is an essential and pragmatic blueprint for healthcare reform, where Wharton economist Mark V. Pauly and policy analyst John S. Hoff tackle the uninsured crisis, health insurance affordability, and healthcare financing by making the case for a simple, flexible tax credit and voucher system that expands access to private insurance, promotes consumer choice, and delivers tax equity, all while answering the toughest objections.

The authors chronicle changes in U.S. attitudes about health care and consider policy trade-offs and problems of a tax credit/voucher system to finance health insurance.
