It is well-known that the U.S. health care system needs to address three key dimensions of cost, quality, and access. President Obama and Congress have responded by placing health care reform high on the national priority list. State leaders look forward to working with the federal government to fashion a comprehensive approach to health care reform.

This essay collection, prepared by leading state health policymakers participating in the Reforming States Group (RSG), brings a unique state perspective to the health care reform debate. The essays included in this collection do not always agree with one another, and they do not necessarily reflect the views of all members of the RSG. They all, however, represent the unique voice of states and amplify the critical role states play in our health care delivery system.
