Welcome to CHIRblog, a blog focused on health insurance coverage, insurance markets, and how people are affected by insurance reform. Our experts share a common mission: to improve access to affordable and adequate health insurance for individuals, families, employees, and employers across the country.

This blog is devoted to helping untangle the often arcane world of insurance regulation. Our bloggers are health insurance experts committed to providing readers with information and tools to better understand how the complex web of federal and state rules affects real people and families. We’ll keep an eye on the states, follow policymaking here in Washington, DC, and talk to families about their experiences navigating the insurance system and what it means for their health and their pocketbooks. We welcome your comments and hope you’ll subscribe to CHIRblog updates. We look forward to hearing from you!
