Abstract
The goal to expand health insurance coverage in the United States has placed new emphasis on the effectiveness of existing public health programs. With limited resources for health care financing, policymakers will have to decide which programs to cut or retain. To inform the current health reform debate, empirical evaluations are needed to determine whether established programs provide measurable benefits to population health, including the elimination of disparities.Keywords
