THIS IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC INPUT concerning the rising cost of health care and the need for reform of the health care system in New Mexico.

The state sponsored Health Coverage for All New Mexicans Committee is charged with identifying various universal health care models to be compared by national experts with respect to projected costs in order to determine which model is best for New Mexicans. Committee Chairperson, Lt Governor Diane Denish announced this one-and-only meeting for public input.

Don’t miss this opportunity - Now is the time to have your voice heard. The Health Care for All Campaign is committed to:

1. universal health care coverage for all persons living in New Mexico;
2. models to be selected for this study should be real reform of the current system, not merely an expansion of the current system; and,
3. models selected should address administrative and other cost savings for the system.
