Abstract
Whether to include the states as key implementers of the new national health care law was a fight from the beginning. In the end, the states were given a major role in ACA implementation--a role that generated not only resistance and policy inequality across states, as critics feared, but also some surprising collaboration and even resilience for the ACA's reforms. The law creates complex and shifting boundaries between state and federal control over health care policy and, in turn, reveals both the benefits and the drawbacks of health care federalism.
