Grace-Marie Turner
Grace-Marie Turner is president of the Galen Institute, a public policy research organization that she founded in 1995 to promote an informed debate over free-market ideas for health reform. She speaks and writes extensively about incentives to promote a more competitive, consumer-driven marketplace in the health sector.
The Galen Institute has been instrumental in promoting Health Savings Accounts and other consumer-friendly ideas that transfer power over health care decisions from bureaucracies to individuals.
In December of 2004, Grace-Marie was invited by President Bush to speak on HSAs and consumer-directed health reform at the White House Economic Summit. She recently was appointed by former HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson to serve as a member of the National Advisory Council of Healthcare Research and Quality.
Grace-Marie also is founder and facilitator of the Health Policy Consensus Group, which serves as a forum for analysts from market-oriented think tanks around the country to analyze and develop health policy recommendations.
She is the editor of Empowering Health Care Consumers through Tax Reform, published by the University of Michigan Press.
In 1995-96, Grace-Marie served as executive director of the National Commission on Economic Growth and Tax Reform. For 12 years, she was president of Arnett & Co., a health policy analysis and communications firm in Washington, D.C.
Her early career was in politics and journalism, where she received numerous awards for her writings on economics and politics.
