Rising Health Care Costs: State Health Cost Containment Approaches

The rapid growth of health care spending is of deep concern to payers, purchasers, providers, the public, and policymakers. This paper focuses on lessons learned from cost containment efforts designed to address the supply of services (Certificate of Need programs), the pricing of services (hospital rate setting), and the demand for services (managed care). It also explores state efforts to control the price and business of health insurance.
