Health Policy

Rutgers Center for State Health Policy (CSHP) is an initiative within the Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research, which is part of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey. The Center was conceived in response to the unique and essential role of the states in the formation and implementation of sound health policy in the American system of federalism. The passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 has further elevated the importance of informed decision making by states.
