The passage of the federal Affordable Care Act last year created a sizable to-do list for state action. The National Conference of State Legislatures has created a database tracking the status of state legislative progress addressing the health reform law requirements. Relevant state legislation can be tracked in the database by state, topic, legislative status, and key sponsor. Searchable topics include:
- Authorize/Plan/Fund
- Challenging and Alternatives
- Health Information Technology
- Health Information Exchanges [HIE]
- Health Insurance Reform
- Medicaid
- Prevention and Wellness
- Workforce and Providers
- Other
