Galen Institute

The Galen Institute is a non-profit public policy research organization based in Virginia that focuses on market-based health care reform. Founded in 1995, the institute promotes policies that encourage consumer choice, competition, and innovation within the healthcare sector. It is a prominent voice in debates over the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and pharmaceutical pricing, often advocating for private-sector solutions over government-mandated programs. The institute's work is frequently cited by policymakers and industry analysts looking to understand the legislative and regulatory trajectory of the U.S. health care system.
