MHA's Health Policy Platform



Vision

All Missourians have coverage for and access to comprehensive health care services.

Principles

The Missouri Hospital Association believes that:

  • Comprehensive health care services include the full complement of preventive, diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitative services provided in office, institutional, community and home settings.

  • Individuals, employers and government share the responsibility for financing comprehensive health care services.

  • Individuals should not be denied access to affordable health insurance because of their health status.

  • Comprehensive health care services should be organized, financed and delivered in settings that maximize individual outcomes and minimize costs.

  • Reimbursement for comprehensive health care services should ensure that all providers care for all populations.

  • Individuals should have easy access to comparative data on health care outcomes and costs from all providers and insurers.

  • Patient information should be stored in a secure individual electronic health record accessible by the individual and all appropriate health care providers and insurers.

  • Government should adopt health policies that achieve administrative efficiency while preserving individual choice of services, providers and coverage options.
