Health Security Funding Approved by Governor!
The legislature met in a special session last week, and the governor signed SB 1—a revised version of the regular sessions "junior" budget bill—on Friday.
$790,000 is now available to continue the Health Security Plan design process!
This funding will enable the Superintendent of Insurance to move forward with this important project—to expand needed research topics, hire consultants, and ensure adequate staff to oversee the process.
What's Next
With funding to continue the design process finally secured, we're back to focusing on what's next:
Working with the Superintendent of Insurance and our legislative sponsors to determine priorities for this phase of the Health Security Plan design process.
Reviewing and reporting on the consultants' findings from the initial phase of research on the Health Security Plan. All the reports are now available on the Office of Superintendent of Insurance's website, along with a recorded roundtable discussion with the consultants.
Continuing our series of informational Zoom sessions.
Making sure New Mexicans are informed about the design process and have input into the creation of our homegrown plan.
We're excited to get started on year two of Health Security Plan design!
