Abstract #120925

Lessons from the Sunbelt on Winning Health Access

When failures of the state and federal government to finance health care hit many voters, their support for financing health care at the local level was won. Cases from states in which state support has already declined drastically show how health care advocates in other states can offset the impact of spending cuts in their states' health care financing. Health care advocates in the North best take note.
