Proposal

The devastation wrought by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to the safety-net system that served the uninsured of New Orleans.  To address the ongoing need to expand access to the population, COLLAH contracted with Lewin to develop a comprehensive proposal in October 2007. COLLAH proposes a hybrid plan that would create a sustainable mechanism to finance and offer health coverage to 80,000 low-income uninsured adults in the area through a pilot.  Details on the plan can be found in the documents on this page.
