Keep up with Health Care Reform in your state
To help you stay on top of what’s happening in your state and the nation, the state data pages now incorporate a new health care reform section covering state health insurance market (Exchange) decisions, benchmark plans, and approved health home state plan amendments. Also included are new data indicators on oral health care for CSHCN, percentage of CSHCN in families with income below 200% of the federal poverty level, and underinsurance for children.
What’s in it for you?
As always, you can look up the latest data for your own state, and compare data from two states and the nation in a single, printable table. You can also display detailed source information and tips for interpreting specific data.
Our goal at the Catalyst Center is to support your efforts to improve coverage and financing of care for CYSHCN in your state. The online state pages are an important tool to help.
