Book Summary:
Health care policy is perhaps the most critical issue at stake in the ongoing--and frequently contentious--debates between those who favor centralized government and those who favor decentralized government. This book has three goals: to illustrate how theories of federalism and intergovernmental relations can provide a useful framework for examining how to "divide up the job" in the health care area; to assess the capacity of the states to actually implement health care policy changes, and to weigh the merits of alternative visions of the future role of states and the federal government in health care policy. Contents: Health Care Policy and the American States: Issues of Federalism, Robert F. Rich and William D. White; State Health Policy in the 1990s, John Holahan and Len Nichols; State Small Group Insurance Reform, Michael M.
