Popis: Health care financing and delivery reform seems to be under way. Reform will in all likelihood originate with Congress but may also come from the states or even the private sector. Federal law, however, limits states' options for reform, while state law constrains federal reform, and both state and federal law impede private innovation. Congressional action could facilitate state reform. Alternatively, federal preemption of state law may be necessary for federal reform. If neither Congress nor the states act, action by federal agencies could support private innovation. In any event, law reform is a necessary condition for health reform.
