title: Rochester: community rating = insurance access.
abstract: Despite opposition from some quarters, the New York State Legislature recently passed a small-group reform bill requiring community rating in health insurance throughout that state. The health care system of Rochester, NY, the author contends, proves that community rating is both good public policy and good business practice.
