  • Title: 1995 in the states: refinement of reform.
    Author: Hansen E.
    Journal: Med Interface; 1995 Dec; 8(12):98-102. PubMed ID: 10153526.
    Abstract:
    With the exception of Kentucky, all state legislatures met in regular session in 1995. By mid-September, all but 10 had adjourned for the year. Not surprisingly, health care reform continued to be a priority for lawmakers. However, in sharp contrast with reform activity in past years, state lawmakers chose refinement over sweeping reform as their preferred approach to health care issues. The year was not without its significant legislative initiatives, including the roll-back of far-reaching reform plans in Minnesota and Washington. However, the fine tuning of insurance market reforms, Medicaid reform, continued growth of medical savings account (MSA) legislation, and making managed care more consumer-friendly were the mainstream activities of this legislative year.
