Purchasing Private Health Insurance through Government Healthcare Program: A Guide for States
Authors: Laura Tollen
June 1999
In recent years, major changes in America's welfare laws and publicly-funded health care programs have brought about an unprecedented wave of state-level health care reform activity. With passage of several key pieces of federal legislation, health care officials across the country are looking for innovative ways to take advantage of new funding and new programs that extend insurance coverage to previously uninsured populations. Many states currently have legislative authority to buy into private, employer-based coverage for eligible working families and/or children. This Guide for States is designed to help senior-level state health officials answer the "why" and the "how" of developing private coverage buy-in programs.
Developed for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation under the State Initiatives in Health Care Reform Program at The Alpha Center.
