HCS455 University of Phoenix Federal Health Care Policy Discussion

Write a 175- to 265-word response to the following:

States play an important role in health care policy not only through the implementation of federal health care policy but also through tailoring policies to meet the needs of the state’s population. By doing so, we find variation in health care policy from state to state, which is evident in programs like Medicaid. We also find variations in how states define insurance rules.

Explore healthcare.gov. Start on the Get Coverage tab to see the current insurance coverage for your state.

Additionally, explore your home state’s insurance website regarding current insurance rules for state residents.

What did you learn about your state’s insurance for residents? What did you learn about other states?
