Welcome to the Manatt State Cost Containment Update, a digital publication produced with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and developed in coordination with the Peterson-Milbank Program for Sustainable Health Care Costs. This Manatt series shares updates on state cost growth benchmarking programs and other data-driven initiatives states are undertaking to contain health care cost growth. In each edition, we also spotlight issues that speak to how state health data organizations and programs are evolving to meet new policy and program priorities.
