John C. Goodman

Posted on March 14, 2021March 21, 2022 by Pieter Vorster

John C. Goodman is one of the nation’s leading thinkers on health policy. The Wall Street Journal calls Dr Goodman “the father of Health Savings Accounts.” Modern Healthcare says he is one of four people who have most influenced the changes shaping our health care system.

Dr Goodman is the author of nine books, including Priceless: Curing the Healthcare Crisis; Leaving Women Behind: Modern Families, Outdated Laws (with Kimberley Strassel); and Patient Power (with Gerald Musgrave), the condensed version of which sold more than 300,000 copies and is credited with playing a pivotal role in the defeat of Hillary Clinton’s health reform.

He has authored numerous editorials in The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Investor’s Business Daily, Los Angeles Times, and many others.

Dr Goodman regularly appears on television, including CNN, CNBC and the Fox News Channel. He appeared on many William F. Buckley Jr. Firing Line shows, and was Mr Buckley’s debating partner on a number of two-hour prime time debates – including such topics as the flat tax, welfare reform and Social Security privatization.

He regularly briefs members of Congress on economic policy and frequently testifies before congressional committees. He is author or co-author of more than 50 published studies on such topics as health policy, tax reform and school choice. Dr Goodman has an active speaking schedule and has addressed more than 100 different organizations on public policy issues.

Dr Goodman received a PhD in economics from Columbia University. He has taught and done research at Columbia University, Stanford University, Dartmouth University, Southern Methodist University and the University of Dallas.

He received the prestigious Duncan Black award in 1988 for the best scholarly article on public choice economics.

For many years, our health care blog was the only free enterprise health policy blog on the internet. Then, when the NCPA closed its doors, the health blog stopped as well.

During this five-year hiatus no one else has come forward to claim the space. So, my colleagues and I have decided to restart the blog in connection with the Goodman Institute. We invite you and others to use this forum to share your views.

John C. Goodman,
