June 2009: KC Fiscal Focus Newsletter “What Can California Teach the Nation About Health Care Reform?”

July 28th, 2009

Health care reform is currently at the top of the national agenda with Congress and the Obama Administration preparing to consider a national health care reform plan in the coming weeks. 

Kersten Communications has prepared an in-depth report  which examines California’s attempt to enact universal health care reform.

The report titled, “Lessons Learned from the Failure of AB 1X 1: The Health Care Security and Cost Reduction Act,” is available by clicking here.

The report provides an in-depth look at what led to the development and ultimate failure of one of the most important pieces of legislation ever considered by the California Legislature.

The piece provides valuable insight into barriers to reform, the politics of reform, and the complex policy challenges presented by sweeping health care reform.
