Miranda Yaver teaches courses on health policy and health politics. She is a political scientist whose research lies at the intersection of health politics, inequality, and administrative burden in U.S. health insurance, with additional projects examining the politics of U.S. health reform as well as ways that patient administrative burden intersects with reproductive health. In addition to her academic appointment, she is co-leader of the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the Scholars Strategy Network, which connects scholars, journalists, and policymakers to translate academic findings into public facing work that tackles public policy challenges and promotes democracy. She is the 2025 Author-in-Residence in Healthcare Fellow at the Roosevelt Institute. Her research has appeared in the American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Law, Economics and Organization, Scientific Reports, World Medical & Health Policy Journal, and the Journal of Health Politics, Policy, and Law, with additional health politics writings in such outlets as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, STATNews, and The Hill. Her forthcoming book, Coverage Denied: How Health Insurers Drive Inequality in the United States, will be published by Cambridge University Press in spring 2026. She was previously an assistant professor of political science at Wheaton College in MA.
