The Galen Institute, Inc., is a not-for-profit, free-market research organization devoted exclusively to health policy. It was founded in 1995 by Grace-Marie Turner to promote a more informed public debate over individual freedom, consumer choice, competition, and diversity in the health sector.

The Galen Institute believes that:

• Patients and their physicians should have authority and responsibility over their own health care decisions.
• A vibrant and consumer-driven free market will lower costs, promote innovation, expand choice, and increase access to better medical care.
• Policy changes must reinforce innovation that leads to improved quality and that can lead to greater access to more affordable care.
