An expert on the financing and organization of health care and on access to care, Dr. Anne Markus is particularly interested in how the health system addresses – or fails to address – the needs of women, trans and nonbinary persons, minoritized groups and children, including those of low-income and with special needs. Dr. Markus brings her combined knowledge of public policy, health policy and law both to the classroom, where she teaches maternal and child health policy and analysis and the politics of public health policy, and to her substantial research portfolio. Prior to coming to GWU, Dr. Markus researched and analyzed state and national health care reform efforts for the Intergovernmental Health Policy Project and the National Business Group on Health. She was also chief writer for a quarterly newsletter, “Health Policy & Child Health.” Dr. Markus divides her time between the U.S. and Switzerland, where she has citizenship.
