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:

  1. 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.
  2. The creation of an electronic health record and the use of standardized technology.
  3. An insistence on real options for low-income families to buy into Medicaid for their children.
  4. Adoption of the medical home plan, so we can do a better job of providing effective and efficient care to patients.
