Acknowledgements
This publication is made possible by a generous grant from The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation of Princeton, N.J., whose interest in assuring better access to health care for all Americans is, we trust, served by the publication. Special thanks go to Stuart Schear of the Foundation, whose communications skills made his advice on this project invaluable.
We are grateful to Karen Pollitz of Georgetown University, who wrote the chapter on "Individual Coverage"; Bob Rosenblatt, now partially retired from the Los Angeles Times, for his work on "Employer-Sponsored Coverage"; Julie Rovner of National Public Radio, who wrote the appendix, "How Our Laws Are Really Made"; Kim Lipsky of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, who edited the Department of Veterans Affairs appendix; and Deborah Potter of NewsLab, drawing on her years of television reporting experience, who again contributed the appendix on "Covering Health Care Costs, the Uninsured, and Other Health Policy Stories for Broadcast." Marilyn Moon of the American Institute of Research reviewed specific chapters for accuracy, and Mary Ann Campbell helped to make it more readable.
