Louisiana - Governor Blanco's Healthcare Reform Proposal

The following summary was derived from information released by the office of Governor Blanco:

Governor Blanco reform builds a health care delivery system centered on four key principles. These include:

• The adoption of a Health Insurance Connector model. This Connector will match individuals needing health insurance to affordable options. The Connector concept will facilitate access to employer sponsored or group health plans.
• The creation of an electronic health record and the use of standardized technology.
• An insistence on real options for low-income families to buy into Medicaid for their children.
• Adoption of the medical home plan, so we can do a better job of providing effective and efficient care to patients.
