Welcome to the Utah Health Policy Project
The Utah Health Policy Project (UHPP) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to lasting solutions to the crisis of the uninsured and rising health care costs.


Guiding Principles for Health Care Reform
The Utah Health Policy Project has developed a set of Guiding Principles to help policymakers and the public evaluate proposals for health reform. We have made every effort to identify principles that achieve our goals of achieving quality, affordable, and sustainable health care coverage for all Utahns. We welcome suggestions for making the Principles more useful as a tool for evaluating reform proposals. more...
