Making health reform work : the view from the states

Nearly everyone agrees that the nation's health care system needs to be reformed. Nearly a dozen major reform plans have been debated in Congress. But beyond the political challenge of passing a reform package lies an even bigger challenge - how to make health reform work. This challenge will persist well beyond the 1990s. Long after the debates over competing national health plans have faded, the states will be faced with the supremely difficult task of reforming their health care finance and delivery systems and translating both new and existing federal health policies into effective administrative action
