title: Publicly subsidized health insurance: a typology of state approaches.
abstract: Using information from case studies, published documents, and the Current Population Survey, this paper describes and classifies state approaches to providing health insurance to low-income populations (as of 1997). It examines the link between the scope of state efforts and uninsurance rates for low-income populations. Findings indicate that the breadth of state policies contributes to differences in insurance coverage for low-income persons across states.
