Though the application process is involved and states must still accomplish the aims of the ACA, 1332 waivers give them the opportunity to tailor the law to local politics, markets, and health systems. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
