A Consumer Guide to State Health Reform

This guide will help advocates design health coverage expansions that build upon the current system of public programs, employer-sponsored insurance and private market options. Start by laying a strong foundation through Medicaid and State Children’s Health Insurance (SCHIP) coverage; then by regulating the private insurance market; next by building subsidy programs and pooling mechanisms; by ensuring adequate benefits and access to services; and finally by finding sustainable financing. | Visit
