E-Mail Publication Spotlights Programs That Improve Access

Publication: Psychiatric News
Volume 39, Number 10
https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.39.10.0015a
A new e-mail newsletter from Universal Healthcare Action Network (UHCAN) highlights activities throughout the country that promote access to health care.
In West Virginia, the legislature recently passed a resolution “to set a goal of providing all citizens of the state of West Virginia with comprehensive, quality, and affordable health care” and approved a study to determine the “most appropriate mechanism to reach that goal.”
Other states have established commissions or hired consulting firms to cost out one or more approaches to achieving universal coverage. The California Health Options Project studied nine proposals, and the Massachusetts Advisory Committee on Consolidated Health Care Financing is costing out a single-payer financing approach.
Rhode Island also studied the viability of a universal, single-payer approach.
A multipayer bill, Health Care for All Maryland, was defeated, but generated support.
Those interested in signing up for the newsletter can do so online at www.uhcan.org. ▪
