Health Care Information

In your work/discussions about health reform and ways to address the federal deficit without decimating federal health programs, here are some “home grown” resources that may be useful to you and your networks.


John McInerney’s (Commonwealth Institute) Op Ed regarding the importance of the federal “Maintenance of Effort Requirement” to protect current Medicaid and FAMIS eligibility.

My Op Ed on health reform and its impact/implementation in Virginia.

The Op Ed is a much abbreviated version of my commentary on the Affordable Care Act, which appears in the current issue of the Virginia News Letter, published by the University of Virginia's Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service.
