| Sec. 1. Commission created; charged. Resolved: That the Health Care |
Reform Commission, referred to in this resolve as the |
"commission," is established to make recommendations concerning |
health care reform in the State. The commission shall develop a |
statewide health care reform process to facilitate the |
comprehensive and systematic evolution of our health care |
delivery and financing structure into a cost-effective and |
affordable program that increases access to health care services |
for the State's citizens within the State's financial abilities. |
This process must permit the State to develop its health care |
reform within the framework of any potential federal reform |
legislation while retaining those elements of the current state |
health care delivery and financing structure that are still |
appropriate in the new system. |
