The Heartland Institute

The Heartland Institute

The Heartland Institute is recognized as one of the top free-market think tanks globally. Located in Arlington Heights, Illinois, we are a national nonprofit organization focused on research and education. Our goal is to explore, develop, and advocate for free-market solutions to various social and economic challenges. We consider ourselves not just a "think tank," but also an "action tank," measuring our effectiveness by the real-world changes we inspire. Heartland Institute is a vital part of the growing movement for personal freedom and limited government, connecting leading writers and thinkers in the freedom movement with approximately 8,400 elected officials at both national and state levels. Due to our effectiveness, we have faced unjust criticism and even false claims from several liberal advocacy groups, public officials, and platforms like Wikipedia. We encourage you to visit our “Reply to Our Critics” page, where we address these criticisms and clarify our position. We appreciate your support in defending us against misinformation in online discussions and conversations with others. About Us Our dedicated team consists of 39 full-time staff members, supported by a 12-member Board of Directors. We are backed by around 5,500 donors and collaborate with approximately 500 academics and professional economists serving as Policy Advisors. Additionally, we have 33 senior fellows and 275 elected officials who are members of our Legislative Forum.

    The corporate climate-alarmist media is already turning up the heat—on your TV, not outside—by hyping a summer warm spell as a “heat dome” threatening “dangerous heat and humidity” across much of America next week. Yes, it’s going to be hot. It’s summer. But the data tell a different story: there’s no long-term trend showing an increase in the number or intensity of heat waves. And despite what they claim, carbon dioxide emissions don’t drive heat waves.

    In a desperate bid to claim fiscal discipline without touching entitlements, President Donald Trump is pushing congressional Republicans to adopt a “most favored nation” (MFN) drug pricing model for Medicaid. This policy would tie Medicaid reimbursements to the lowest prices paid in other developed countries—countries where government officials dictate drug prices under threat of coercion, patent confiscation, or market exclusion. Let’s be clear: MFN is price fixing. It is not market reform.

    Recipients of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine experienced more all-cause deaths within the first 100 days post-vaccination than those who received the Moderna shot, a new study of 1.47 million people found. Although all-cause mortality for either shot should have been the same, 230 more people per 100,000 who got the Pfizer jab died within the first 12 months after inoculation, and 83 out of 100,000 died from cardiovascular causes, than with the Moderna shot.

    The Justice Department has sent letters to leading medical journals, requesting information on how the publications chose and present their content. Although the letters do not constitute a formal DOJ investigation into the journals’ practices, their wording leaves little doubt the publications are under scrutiny in the latest escalation of the conflict between the Trump administration and the nation’s health care establishment.

    The Heartland Institute and Heartland UK/Europe have been in Poland and Hungary this week, meeting with leaders of the conservative movement and top politicians. Opposition to Net Zero in Europe is real—and growing. Just a few years ago, even right-leaning public figures were reluctant to publicly oppose the Big Green agenda, and hardly ever spoke of it even in private conversations. Today, climate realism has become a main plank of center-right politics and policy.
