This website is primarily intended to give visitors a sense of my academic and professional interests.  I am fascinated by the economics and policy of health care delivery within the U.S.  My research is a vehicle through which I can explore these interests and try to understand the field. Through this site, I've tried to convey those interests and give the viewer a sense of my background.

In spite of the fact that the site has been up and running for awhile, I always consider it a work in progress. My apologies if some of the information is slightly outdated or incomplete but it is sometimes difficult for me to find the time the update the site. If you have any technical feedback, please feel free to contact me via e-mail (housman@wharton.upenn.edu) or phone (215-681-6955).

Similarly, please feel free to contact me if you have any thoughts on the content of the site. One of the greatest pleasures that I derive from my work is the opportunity to communicate with others that share my interests. I've set up a form under the Contact Me link to make it even easier to get in touch with me. I always try to respond promptly to e-mails, calls, and form submissions.
