Description: American Federalism in Practice : The Formulation and Implementation of Contemporary Health Policy, Paperback by Doonan, Michael, ISBN 0815724837, ISBN-13 9780815724834, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Using case studies of the health care reform enacted by Massachusetts, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), this book illustrates American federalism in practice and its impact on policy and programs. The author argues that each case parallels key elements in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and offers insights into policy formulation and implementation as examples of coverage expansion, with state flexibility and federal oversight, in the case of CHIP; insurance regulation, with federal standards but limited national resources and weak oversight of state activity, in the case of HIPAA; and similarities to national reform in the case of the Massachusetts reform. He shows that each case demonstrates that states can be a source of innovation for social welfare policy and that each offers lessons in how the ACA might be implemented. For each, chapters are provided on federal-state relations as applied to legislative development, rulemaking, and implementation, and the last chapter synthesizes the cases to describe how federalism affects program development and the policy process and applications to the implementation of national health care reform.
