State governments, especially State legislatures,
play a major role in setting policy for the regulation, financing,
and delivery of health care in America. With heightened
involvement in health care policy, State legislatures are in
a position to guide their States in effective administration
of the health care delivery system. This session reviews some
of the traditional roles States have played and discusses the
