RS 2175.11 - Legislative findings
The legislature finds that many consumers have limited access to needed health care and other consumers have limited health care choices. Consumers of health care also experience high out-of-pocket costs for health care, and the state as a whole experiences high aggregate health care costs. The legislature also finds that the provision of high quality services for care, regardless of setting, is of overriding importance. Currently, there is insufficient data and information on the efficacy of alternative models of health care delivery. New and innovative solutions are needed to address these needs.
