SCI Releases States of the States 2005

State Coverage Intiatives is pleased to announce the release of State of the States: Finding Alternate Routes. This annual report tells the story of state health coverage activities from the previous year. Despite continued state financial pressure, rising insurance premiums, and increasing numbers of uninsured, states continued to develop strategies to expand health insurance coverage in 2004.

We hope State of the States will be a valued resource for state policymakers to learn from one another how to improve and expand health coverage in these challenging times.
