  • Task Force member, T. R. Reid, will speak about the Task Force report and its recommendation.
  • Representative Emily Sirota, who sponsored the bill, will also speak.
  • Please invite leaders and a few members of your groups to attend and learn next steps.

The Final Report modeled a publicly financed and privately delivered option that provides universal coverage against two other options and showed far better improvements than the others, including:
  • Billions of dollars saved over the current system
  • Lower average individual costs
  • Reduced ER utilization and associated costs
  • Increased productivity and lost time from work
  • Fewer medical bankruptcies
  • Less financial hardship due to medical bills
  • Increase in employment
