Building the Plane While Flying: Informal State Capacity, Policy Autonomy, and Public Health
Public health infrastructure varies widely at the local, state, and national levels, and the COVID-19 response revealed just how critical local health authority can be. Public health officials created COVID policies, enforced behavioral and non-pharmaceutical interventions, and communicated with the public. This article explores the determinants of public health capacity, distinguishing between formal institutional capacity (i.e., budget, staff) …
Private Power in Public Programs: Medicare, Medicaid, and the Structural Power of Private Insurance
In 2019, nearly 70 percent of Medicaid beneficiaries received their health insurance coverage through a private, managed care organization (MCO). Twenty-five years earlier, 9.5 percent of Medicaid beneficiaries were enrolled in MCOs. This dramatic growth in Medicaid managed care enrollment represents the delegation of significant power by federal and state governments over a critical social program to private actors and market forces. Medicare, t…
An Engine of Change? The Affordable Care Act and the Shifting Politics of Demonstration Projects

The Affordable Care Act and the Shifting Politics of Demonstration Projects, RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences, Vol. 6, No. 2, The Social, Political, and Economic Effects of the Affordable Care Act (July 2020), pp. 67-84
From ‘trial and error’ to major reform: The politics of Medicare demonstration projects
Facing fragmented institutions and partisan polarization, officials in the United States often attempt to engineer policy change without assembling new legislative majorities. To this end, they have increasingly employed demonstration projects, policy innovations undertaken by administrative agencies designed to test alternative approaches to implementation or service delivery on a limited segment of the target population and for a limited period…
Politics at the Cutting Edge: Intergovernmental Policy Innovation in the Affordable Care Act
In the eight years since the passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), state governments have remained critical sites of contention over the law. Intense partisan conflict over ACA implementation has raised questions about traditional theories of intergovernmental relations, which posit that federal–state cooperation depends largely on policy design. Yet, few studies have examined how partisanship, as well as other importan…
Boutique to Booming: Medicare Managed Care and the Private Path to Policy Change
In 2014, Medicare Advantage (MA) enrollment surpassed 30 percent of eligible beneficiaries. Twenty-five years earlier, enrollment hovered at just 3 percent. The expansion of private Medicare plans presents a puzzling instance of policy change within Medicare—a program long held to be a quintessential case of policy stasis. This article investigates the policy features that made Medicare susceptible to this dramatic policy shift, as well as the pr…
Mistaken for Dead: The Affordable Care Act and the Continued Resilience of Medicare Advantage
In 2009, Medicare Advantage became a prime target in the Obama Administration’s efforts to pay for the Affordable Care Act (ACA). After securing substantial cuts to a program the President described as a failure, the Obama administration was compelled to take unprecedented administrative steps to put billions of dollars back into Medicare Advantage. These developments demonstrate how Medicare Advantage’s support constituency, which has come to in…
The Political Development of Scientific Capacity in the United States
When well directed, science is the greatest agency for the welfare of mankind. John Wesley Powell, the director of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), delivered this message to Congress in 1884. The purpose of Powell's testimony to Congress was not to argue for the erection of an organizational framework for American science, but to defend the one that had been put in place decades earlier. At the time of Powell's testimony, the United St…
