Consumer-Driven Health Care

Through The Consumer Driven Health Care Project, the Flint Hills Center continues its efforts to stimulate discussion of serious health care reform in Kansas as well as impact the direction of that reform. As an independent voice in the debate, The Flint Hills Center for Public Policy provides an invaluable resource to the public, the media and policymakers.

The Flint Hills Center for Public Policy views The Consumer Driven Health Care Project as a facilitating agent of change over the long term. Recognizing that political solutions are only one component of true health care reform, the Project strives to not only assist policymakers in charting a path toward a consumer-directed health care system in this state, but also to engage the public and the media on health care issues in a meaningful and sustained way.
