Abstract

Debates over federalism – the proper distribution of power between the federal and state governments – are an inherent part of our legal and political history. Few areas of law implicate the federalism debate as keenly as health care. Almost by definition, the modern health care system requires federal and state authorities to coexist. The articles in this Symposium address various facets of the potential for federal-state conflicts in health care. In light of the tremendous overlap of responsibility, it is not surprising that federal and state health care authorities find themselves in conflict; indeed, the wonder may be that they do not do so more often.

Keywords: health care, federalism
