Patient and Consumer Support
Our team takes pride in elevating consumer perspectives as we advance our mission of ensuring everyone can access the care they need at a price they can afford. We regularly center the patient and consumer experience in our written products, webinars, and events, and provide technical assistance and research support to organizations that represent patients and consumers in policy discussions.

What We Do
Our experts at CHIR conduct research to assess the impact of federal and state policies on people’s access to affordable, high quality insurance coverage. We provide unbiased, relevant, and timely information, analysis, and technical assistance to policymakers, regulators, and stakeholders seeking a marketplace where consumers have access to affordable and high quality healthcare coverage.
