The National Institute for Health Care Reform (NIHCR) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization established by the UAW, Chrysler, Ford, and General Motors to conduct health policy research focused on improving the organization, financing, and delivery of health care. The non-profit company is based in Washington, DC. NIHCR produces evidence-based research, policy analyses, and reports on topics such as Medicare policies, Medicaid expansion, Affordable Care Act impacts, primary care access for underserved populations, health care cost containment, provider payment reform, hospital competition, patient engagement, and health care delivery reforms. The research emphasizes budget constraints in government health programs, strategies to control spending, and approaches to improve care quality, access, and affordability. NIHCR informs policymakers and stakeholders by analyzing health insurance coverage, care coordination, health care market dynamics, and policy options like Medicare buy-in programs to enhance health outcomes and ensure sustainable health care financing.
