Through our podcast, in-depth articles and live events, Tradeoffs explores the toughest choices in health care, diving into issues like the cost of care, health equity, insurance, mental health and artificial intelligence. We connect policy to practice, uncovering the data and personal stories that help audiences understand the stakes — and the potential solutions.

Who We Are

Our Mission

Tradeoffs was founded to help America have smarter, more honest health policy conversations.

Our Vision

To build a more equitable U.S. health care system where effective policy improves care and reduces wasteful, harmful spending.

Our Values

Transparency. Accessibility. Rigor. These principles guide our work every day. We believe that trustworthy, evidence-based journalism is the foundation of progress, especially when it brings diverse voices into critical health care discussions.

Our Commitment to Equity

The desire for a more just U.S. health care system drives Tradeoffs. Our work frequently shines a light on disparities, highlighting the challenges and costs marginalized patients face. Tradeoffs prioritizes working with policy experts and thought leaders from underrepresented communities.
