In the last few months, NASHP has convened state leaders in two summits that addressed rising health care costs. With assistance from Larry Levitt of the Kaiser Family Foundation and Erin Fuse Brown of Georgia State University College of Law, NASHP compiled a slide presentation documenting the factors behind the health care cost trajectory to help states make the case for action. In the months ahead, NASHP will present strategies states are pursuing to address the cost conundrum.
