What policy can change
The Roadmap’s health recommendations focus on workforce, rural access, coverage and coordination of care.
Fund the Rural Healthcare Delivery Fund based on community needs and expand county eligibility.
Fully fund the Health Care Affordability Fund so coverage through BeWell remains affordable.
Expand coordination across prenatal and postpartum care, behavioral health, transportation and mobile health services.
