POLICY BRIEF: How to Structure a "Play-or-Pay" Requirement on Employers: Lessons from California for National Health Reform

We focus in particular on what Congress can learn from the California experience, as well as from an independent cost and coverage analysis of a national play-or-pay plan proposal resembling current legislative initiatives.
