Each week, our Health Policy team recaps recent health care developments in two reports, Weekly Health Care Wrap-Up and Health Insurance Exchanges: State of the States.

Weekly Health Care Wrap-Up. Click here for our weekly look at regulatory developments affecting health care at the federal and state level. Last week, House Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education approved FY13 spending legislation, CMS sent the Stage 2 Meaningful Use rule to the OMB for review, and 15 new Advanced Payment ACOs were announced.

Health Insurance Exchanges: State of the States update. Click here for our weekly State of the States report on Health Insurance Exchange developments. Last week was a busy week for exchange watchers as one state created an exchange by Executive Order, while another formally opted out of creating a state-based exchange.
