Abstract
The author lays out the universal coverage debate that’s gone on for a long time in this country. Then he describes a new solution that the author and his colleagues think they found for Massachusetts, describes how the Massachusetts reform works, and how it can be extended nationally. Finally the author spends time on the key issues that Congress is facing right now trying to take this model to the national level.
