Posted by CHPRE Staff Center Activities, Hot Topics, Issue Briefs Friday, September 19th, 2014

September 19, 2014. In this second Issue Brief of the new CHPRE series, Len Nichols, Director of  the Center for Health Policy Research and Ethics, explains an essential but sometimes overlooked history of the Any Willing Provider and Freedom of Choice Laws and then reviews the arguments and evidence for and against them.  In the end, Nichols offers conclusions for both sides to consider as the policy debate moves forward, or backward, or in circles, as the case may be.
