Stuart Butler

Stuart Butler joined The Heritage Foundation in 1979 as a policy analyst specializing in urban issues. Now as vice president of domestic and economic policy studies, Butler has played a major role in shaping the policy debate on a wide range of domestic policy issues from health care and Social Security to welfare reform and privatizing government services. National Journal has called him one of Washington's 12 key players on healthcare.

Butler has been a leading proponent of finding bipartisan ways of widening health insurance coverage, working with a wide range of organizations to develop new approaches. He also has been published in leading academic journals, such as the Journal of the American Medical Association and Health Affairs, and in leading newspapers, including The New York Times. In addition to the dozens of research papers he has written for Heritage, Butler is the author of three books, Enterprise Zones: Greenlining the Inner Cities, Privatizing Federal Spending and Out of the Poverty Trap, co-authored with Anna Kondratas.
