About This Effort

Cover Missouri is a project of the Missouri Foundation for Health (MFH) to promote quality, affordable health coverage for every Missourian.

This effort incorporates community input, Foundation research, and economic analysis by state and national experts. Cover Missouri will publish and distribute publications on the health of Missourians and on options for improving access, quality, and affordability of health care for community members and policymakers to consider.

In 2008 the Cover Missouri team held community meetings about policy options to decrease the number of uninsured in Missouri. Read about the outcome of these meetings here.

As federal health care reform continues to be discussed, Cover Missouri will disseminate information on the content of Congressional bills, the legislative process, and the potential impact on Missourians.

We are seeking input from a variety of stakeholders across the state to provide comments and suggestions based on community experience. Please contact us with your opinion.
