Catalyst for Payment Reform's Suzanne Delbanco Discusses State Health Care Innovation (September 23rd)

Listen Now Largely with the exception of the 2010 passage of the ACA, federal legislative (and regulatory) efforts to reform health care over the past few decades has lagged. This is the result of an increasingly dysfunctional Congress. For example, Congressional productivity, measured by the number of enacted laws, has decreased every decade since 1990 by over 20 percent. For this reason and because states are required to balance their annual budgets (with the exception of Vermont and possibly North Dakota and Wyoming as well), health care policy innovation has shifted substantially to the states. For example, the 2019 legislative session resulted in 29 states passing Medicaid-related legislation, 13 states passing health insurance legislation and 10 states passing health care assignment and billing legislation.
