Research For Our Changing Health Environment

Since 1972, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has been the nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to health. To further its mission of improving the health and health care of all Americans, the Foundation strives to foster innovation, develop ideas, disseminate information, and enable committed people to devote their energies to improving the nation's well-being.

The first three chapters examine the topic from different perspectives: policy, advocacy, and communications efforts to advance health care reform; research on health insurance coverage; and enrolling eligible children in the Medicaid and the State Children's Health Insurance Program.
