Description:
This supplemental chart compares California's waiver to other state models and has been developed as technical assistance to the State of California. As such, it presents a range of options on different paths that could be taken by the state in a waiver request to the federal government. The paper makes no recommendations. Rather, this paper was developed with the understanding that it will be used as the beginning of a process with stakeholders to discuss waiver options. As part of this public process, the concepts presented here were previously presented by the consulting team at a three-hour public event sponsored by the California Senate Office of Research in early June 2009. While the paper is an inital step in waiver development, it is worth noting that the language can still be highly technical and is designed for audiences with background in health care policy and financing.
