Disparities in State Health Coverage: A Matter of Policy or Fortune?

Explores why states differ in their Medicaid coverage of the at-risk population, focusing on large disparities in Medicaid spending. To help address these disparities, suggests reconfiguring the federal matching formula for Medicaid so it accounts for the need for public coverage in each state, or providing federal subsidies for low-income families to purchase coverage.
