Panel discussion: Some solutions to the uninsured problem happening right here in Cleveland. The Health Policy Coalition is a group which presents health insurance reform ideas to Congress. Charles Weller talked about the Coalition. Powell Woods described the Cleveland Health Quality Choice Program as follows: "Cleveland Health Quality Choice is based upon the principle that if we figure out a way to reward high quality and cost efficiency as the twin lynch pins of reimbursement in our health purchasing system, we can drive both quality and efficiency gains in the system which can help produce savings which will in turn …

Law And Legislation In Ohio, Jane Campbell, Ray Miller, Grace Drake, Susan Sheutzow
Journal of Law and Health
A discussion of the current Ohio health insurance law regarding the uninsured and underinsured and what the Ohio legislature is trying to do about it. Jane Campbell discussed adopting a system similar to the Canadian health care system, creating an Ohio health care trust fund, and helping those in high-risk health care categories. Ray Miller addressed indigent health care and the Hagan bill. Grace Drake said that universal health care has not been successful where it has been tried, so the focus should be on the working poor and uninsured.
Proceedings Of The Inaugural Conference Of The Law & (And) Public Policy Program: An Introduction And Summary, Alan C. Weinstein
Proceedings Of The Inaugural Conference Of The Law & (And) Public Policy Program: An Introduction And Summary, Alan C. Weinstein
Journal of Law and Health
As its title suggests, this Conference focuses on the health insurance problems of Ohioans and the public and private initiatives that seek solutions to that problem. Despite this focus on Ohio, the Conference proceedings are not overly parochial, but often examine the experience of other states and other societies to gain insights into Ohio's situation. Thus, these proceedings provide the reader with both a general consideration of the health insurance problem and a deeper exploration of one state's effort to address that problem.

Keynote Address: Helping The Uninsured: Health Insurance In Ohio And In The Nation, Randall R. Bovbjerg
Journal of Law and Health
This article briefly discusses five salient issues for decision makers to ponder, in Ohio and in the nation: (1) What, exactly, is the problem? (2) What about National Health Insurance (NHI)? (3) What roles are likely for national, state, and local governments? (4) How can one design solutions and evaluate the trade-offs they pose? (5) What are we willing to pay? A major conclusion is that many ways exist to provide subsidized coverage or other access to care. In other words, many possible solutions exist. They have different emphases, different structural characteristics, different benefits, and different price tags. What does …
Opening Remarks: An Overview Of The Problem, Robert E. Eckardt
Opening Remarks: An Overview Of The Problem, Robert E. Eckardt
Journal of Law and Health
It is a pleasure to be here this morning and to give you some opening comments about what is obviously a very important issue and one that I think does require the involvement of a multitude of different persons from public policy, public health, law and other fields. As I look at the Conference program, however, I feel a little bit uneasy with my assignment since those of us in Foundations are quintessential consultants; we are not really out on the front line doing anything, but are instead providing advice, assistance, counseling, and sometimes money, to those who are out …
