New Way to Care

“John Goodman is a national treasure whose New Way to Care: Social Protections That Put Families First should be national policy. It is pragmatic, knowledgeable, and accessible. Read it and help to accomplish John’s wise advice.”–Regina E. Herzlinger, Nancy R. McPherson Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School“John Goodman is an extraordinarily deep, knowledgeable, and original architect of American domestic policy. His book New Way to Care provides a compelling path out of our terrible social insurance policy morass. It is a must read for anyone truly seeking to make America great again.”–Laurence J. Kotlikoff, William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor and Professor of Economics, Boston University“John Goodman is someone everyone should listen to when it comes to healthcare policy–with his book New Way to Care, the same can now be said for social insurance. While many misdiagnose the problems with our healthcare and social insurance systems, Goodman correctly identifies one of the most serious problems–inefficient regulations. While others propose more regulation to cure the ills caused by past regulations, Goodman proposes the types of market-based reforms that can make our social insurance system function better.”–Kevin M. Murphy, George J. Stigler Distinguished Service Professor of Economics, University of Chicago; Member, American Academy of Arts and Sciences; MacArthur Fellow“Long one of the nation’s leading health policy experts, Goodman has a history of proposing the next big thing in market-based reforms. New Way to Care takes readers on a tour of federal entitlement programs in search for win-win policy changes that can leave everyone better off. Anyone alarmed that the safety net will not remain safe can find cause for hope here.”–Mitchel E. Daniels, Jr., President, Purdue University; former Governor of Indiana; former Director, U.S. Office of Management and Budget; Co-Chair, Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget“No one has worked longer and more effectively at creating a modern, people-oriented and affordable health system than John Goodman. He is an amazing pioneer and his book New Way to Care reflects his knowledge and his insights. In the book, he shows what’s wrong with our antiquated system of social insurance. Other countries, he writes, have found better solutions that merit our attention.”–Newt Gingrich, former Majority Leader, U.S. House of Representatives
