• First, states are among the largest employers in the country and face the same issues as corporations when it comes to providing healthcare benefits to employees and retirees.
   
• Second, states are responsible for ensuring that disadvantaged citizens have access to healthcare services through Medicaid, State Children Health Insurance Programs and other targeted health initiatives.
