| As the federal government does little to address the problem of millions lacking health care insurance, state and local policy is attempting to fill the gap. Massachusetts has chosen a mandate on poor and working people to fund their own health insurance. San Francisco is considering requiring certain employers to cover their workers' health care costs. This session will present views of both policies from the perspective of participants. They will assess the policies and their implications for state and local efforts to cover the uninsured. | |||
| Learning Objectives: Better understand politics and policy of state and local efforts to provide universal health coverage. Opportunity to use this information as a model in creating state and local health policy change. | |||
