Healthcare

Start with the policy question. Then inspect the source.

THE POLICY CONTEXT

Healthcare proposals can change coverage, eligibility, premiums, benefits, or payments to providers. A large budget bill may affect several of these at once.

Who has the authority?

Federal policy governs Medicare and sets major rules and funding for Medicaid and insurance. States administer Medicaid within federal requirements.
