 States Checking Up On Health Reform
Six-Part Webinar Series
With one chamber of Congress passing a major health care reform bill, a major overhaul of the country’s health care system seems more and more likely. States are going to have an important role no matter how the final act looks. NCSL is holding a six-part webinar series to help legislators and legislative staff navigate the labyrinth of health reform.
This webinar series is sponsored by NCSL’s Legislative Health Staff Network (LHSN), NCSL’s Health Chairs Project, and NCSL’s Standing Committee on Health through grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and AARP.
