People in this sector have issues due to severe poverty and many have not been to a doctor or even a dentist in years. People with ailments like diabetes and hypertension are not treated which lead to additional problems. They are a population without knowledge of English and need help to understand about prescription drugs and follow up visits.
HealthChoices is a fully operational and successful program suited to the low-income population and if the government could use this framework to expand and improve health care the people would benefit while saving the state of a lot of expenses. The Governor can leverage HealthChoices for coverage to people who really need health insurance.
