The NM Health Security Planning and Design Board Act (HB203)

Dana Millen with the Health Security for New Mexicans Campaign will present how New Mexico will begin the process of de-signing its own health plan, with legislation passed in 2021, to make certain that all state residents have comprehensive health care coverage. Highlights will include

• What is a NM Health Security Plan?

• The role of private insurance

• What services are provided

• How premiums will be set

How would a NM Health Security Plan benefit local communities and businesses

The present health pandemic intensifies the injustices and injuries of the current health care system. Despite these seemingly insurmountable barriers, the support for the Health Security Plan, a universal health care plan for the state of New Mexico, continues to grow. Dana will discuss the grassroots organizing efforts and collective action that are taking place to pass the Health Security Planning and Design Board Act, which will be introduced as legislation in the current Legislative Session.
