From the Texas Policy Foundation:
State governments will face many new challenges and responsibilities under the recently passed federal health care legislation – one of the first being the creation of a state health insurance exchange.

Utah took a fundamentally different approach and is seeing better results so far. On this week’s episode, we bring you a conversation with Utah House Speaker David Clark, who shared Utah’s model at the Foundation’s May 20 Policy Primer, “State Options for Federal Health Care Reform.”
