Becky Lourey's Minnesota HealthCare Security Plan

The Policy Framework for Real Change includes four specific policy initiatives:

1) Patients-First Act to mandate that all health care insurers who wish to do business with public dollars meet specific efficiency requirements and remain explicitly focused on their ultimate purpose: patient care.

2) Health Care Affordability Act to mandate that no corporation, business, family, or individual be burdened with excessive health care costs.

3) Constitutional Amendment to Establish Health Care as a Basic Right to guarantee every citizen of Minnesota the right to health care.

4) Health Care Security Council to provide the Governor with policy advisors to ensure that Minnesota’s health care reform is a cooperative, inclusive effort addressing the needs of all stakeholders involved.

The Programs for Initiating Real Change include Strategic MinnesotaCare Expansion and six specific program initiatives:

1) MinnesotaCare Individual Eligibility Expansion to reduce the number of uninsured and underinsured individuals in Minnesota and increase the ability of the state to provide access to cost-effective quality coverage.

2)
Minnesota BusinessCare to provide employers with the option to offer their employees access to MinnesotaCare coverage in order to make Minnesota businesses and corporations more competitive.

3)
DOER Health Plan Expansion to increase health care security for public servants and the public agencies and jurisdictions that employ them.

4) MinnesotaCare Inclusion of DOER Subscribers to further strengthen the state economy by enabling subscribers from both groups to reap the benefits associated with a significantly larger subscriber pool.

5) Support of Unique Constituency Pools to ensure that the specific needs of all Minnesota businesses and residents are met.

6)
Prescription Drug Purchasing Alliance to improve Minnesota’s ability to negotiate prescription drug prices through cooperative bulk purchases.

"I am an enthusiastic supporter of Senator Lourey’s Minnesota Health Care Security Plan (MHCSP). The MHCSP is a very creative way to bring universal, affordable health care to all Minnesotans by the year 2010. The genius of the plan is that it brings together three big ideas that are currently gaining traction in the Minnesota health care reform debate, namely:
 
1)     a constitutional amendment that would make health care a right for Minnesotans – this gives the public a chance to confirm this basic principle
 
2)     the Health Care Security Council which would engage the public in developing the strategies to get to the universal, affordable plan by 2010 and
 
3)     mechanisms for covering more and more people (i.e. expansion of MNCare, creation of BusinessCare, and addition of more public  employees to the DOER plan) between now and 2010.
 
Senator Lourey’s plan recognizes that it will take us a few years to get to our final goal, but provides expanding coverage in the meantime. And she has the vision and passion to make it happen."
 
Dr. Jim Hart
