Health reform: the shape of things to come.

To understand the various legislative initiatives at state and national levels, one must know what questions to ask and what issues are raised by each question. The questions are: (1) How much shall we reform the system? (2) How quickly shall we reform the system? (3) How shall we fund the system? and (4) How shall we organize or reorganize the system? If the complex issues these questions raise are dealt with quickly, boldly and fairly, meaningful health reform will be passed in 1993 and phased in over the next five to seven years.
