Description

When addressing the on-going struggle between those favouring centralized and those favouring decentralized government, healthcare is an important issue. This text 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 roles of States and the federal government in health care policy.
