The Program on the Future of Health Insurance analyzes changes in the breadth and comprehensiveness of health coverage for people under age 65, explores the consequences of being uninsured or underinsured, and develops and evaluates strategies for expanding coverage, enhancing its quality, and improving the administrative efficiency of insurance systems. This grant will fund a new senior program officer to support the program and expand its influence at a time when reform of the health insurance system is high on the nation's agenda. Expanding the staff of the Program on the Future of Health Insurance—a core component of the Commission on a High Performance Health System—will also help the Commission raise its visibility in the health insurance arena. The responsibilities of the new staff member will include: preparation of policy reports and issue briefs; tracking of emerging coverage, access, and policy issues; and project development, grants management, and oversight of grant-supported publications.
