The authority and responsibility allocated to the individual states are summarized as follows:

The states have wide latitude and authority to work with communities and health-care delivery markets to design and implement local health-care delivery systems and to contract with health-care providers and provider networks in accordance with the achievement of national benchmarks of health-care accessibility, quality, and equitability.9

The states represent the first line of provider and provider network accountability to national benchmarks of Tier I health-care accessibility and quality.

Any state’s allocation of national health-care funds will have three components: (a) an operating budget component for the delivery of core health services, (b) a capital budget allocation based on needed investments in health-care infrastructure that is based on national infrastructure benchmarks (such as geographic proximity to tertiary care services), and (c) a capital budget allocation based on investments in new technology that meet rigorous criteria for population health benefits relative to cost.
