The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize students with
health reform strategies adopted by states. Students will select a
state health policy reform innovation and describe the rationale,
how it was adopted (e.g., federal waivers, passage by state
legislature), the funding structure, and (to the extent statistical data
are available) its impact. Students should summarize their findings
in a 1-2 page, single-spaced
.
Examples of state innovations include Maryland’s hospital rate
setting, Vermont’s single payer system, and Massachusetts’ health
reforms.
