Abstract
As the nation moves to reform Medicare and the health care industry becomes more competitive which will dramatically change the means by which health care is organized and financed, state governments ought to be establishing administrative capacity to administer new systems. This article describes past experiences of states in similar efforts and uses the legislation written in 13 states to analyze in greater detail current state health reform activities. Policies that create new central authorities have the greatest likelihood of building the appropriate administrative infrastructures. Provisions related to establishing data bases, creating regional authorities or advisory committees, establishing uniform claims, and facilitating integrated systems of care are common to several proposals. Previous state experiences with health planning and citizen involvement are evident in the schemes being proposed and enacted.
