September, 2005 Common Health: State Health Plan

On our September Common Health program, we looked at how the effort to craft a State Health Plan is progressing in Maine, and examined critical issues that are being considered in drafting our new plan. This was a follow-up to our June program on "Tough Choices in Health Care."

Guests on the September program included Ellen Schneider of the Governor's Office of Health Planning and Finance, Wendy Wolf of the Maine Health Access Foundation, Tish Tanski of the Margaret Chase Smith Center for Public Policy at the University of Maine, and Sarah Stollman of the Maine People's Alliance.
