Zack's research interests revolve around American health policy, comparative health policy, the role of choice and competition in health care, and incentive structure. His current work examines whether increased patient choice and hospital competition have improved quality and shortened waiting times in the English National Health Service.

Zack has worked as Special Assistant to Sir Liam Donaldson, Chief Medical Officer of the UK; as Special Assistant to Lord Ara Darzi, Minister of Health for the UK; and he has written speeches for and advised several other politicians and policy-makers.
In addition to his academic writing, Zack writes regularly for the Huffington Post and his writing has also been published in the Guardian newspaper, the Altarum Health Policy Blog, ABC News Online, the Philadelphia Enquirer and the Seattle Times. Zack has appeared on the BBC, Sky News, NPR, CBS and ABC.
